Thank you for the info Harrison. At this point I am still pre-op and wondering if lumbar DDD can cause vertigo. My feeling is that this is unrelated but I would not rule out a connection.
I take very few and infrequent meds. Manage pain via meditative approach and take no more than one or two Aleve per week. Flexeril on every a month for flare ups.
