I ve had dizziness/vertigo for some time now...also degenerative joint disease primary in knees....over the past year i ve been loosing my balance and the power in my legs to keep me upright..in the past week has become a daily thing...any idea how i explain this to my doc?
Hi, Degenerative joint disease is due to wear and tear of joints as the age increases, vertigo has no relation with your knee pain, there are many causes of vertigo like high blood pressure, diabetes, ear problem, compression of nerves in the neck. The joint which suffers a lot of wear and tear due to aging needs to be replaced for complete pain relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
