Nerve root irritation from cervical spine arthritis can cause vertigo -- a type of dizziness characterized by the sensation of the room spinning around you. This would be associated with neck pain and/or headache. But there are other more common causes of vertigo, and non-vertigo is an even more common cause of dizziness. If you're just feeling light-headed or unsteady you're probably experiencing non-vertigo dizziness which can often be remedied by simply drinking more fluids. If this doesn't help you should see your physician.

Answer This
The breakdown of cartilage in the knee can lead to bony protrusions called spurs and considerable joint pain.
