I hurt my neck bending over in the garden. I have had an mri last year for neck pain. It showed disc degeneration from my neck down to the upper back/spine. I am in a neck brace for a few days, which surprisingly is providing relief. I have muscle spasms and pain. Now I am having lightheadedness. I haven t had any new tests done on my neck, the doctor prescribed muscle relaxers and physical therapy. This happened last Wednesday. I do not feel like the room is spinning, just light headed quite often during the day. I do not take any meds during the day, only at night. Could the neck symptoms be causing this light headed feeling and a bit shakey too.
