3 months post translab
« on: October 30, 2018, 06:39:17 am »
I am 3 months post translab. I was back to work at 8 weeks and doing so much better but all of the sudden began having balance issues, head pressure and blurred vision. I am scheduled for an MRI next week. I am not sure what to think.

Hi Noni1968 .....

Try not to worry about these symptoms until you have the MRI results.  Recovery from AN surgery is an up and down thing ..... not necessarily a straight upward progress.  Many of us have had recurring balance issues, pressure, and/or vision disturbances for a very long time post-op.  I still have these symptoms pop up 7 years post-op, when I have too much caffeine, or not enough sleep, or extra stress, etc.  Hang in there!

Let us know what the MRI shows.

Best wishes.
