What Causes Headaches And Knee Pain With History Of Having Cervical Disc Degenerative Disease?
I have cervical degenerative disc disease which is a lot of pain. I recently had two cervical epidurals on C5-C7 in which I have had several times in the past 6 yrs., but this time I ve been experiencing some debilitating headaches, leg weakness, knee pain, joint and arm pain and dizziness. Could something have gone wrong?

Hello,
The cervical degenerative disc disease is causing you the headache. Taking anti-inflammatory drugs such Advil or naproxen for pain is advisable. Also, steroid injections can be used. Surgery is more accurate and definitive treatment.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
