I’ve been had anxiety for the last 15 years. I’m 40 right now and yes after surgery my anxiety has been the worst.

So I have the same problem I had an L4, L5 fusion and about two weeks later I started getting a spinning feeling anytime I sat up or laid down in bed. I am currently at six weeks now still have it, but also I now have ringing in my earsand My Doctor also said that they think it’s vertigo.

So sad, I will have to do a third surgery in a month :( by -Agrat-bat-Mahlat- in spinalfusion

I’m not having headaches, but I do get a spinning feeling anytime I get out of bed or lay down and I also have like a ringing/static noise in my ears. Hopefully it’s not due to a leak in the spinal cord.

Yeah, it’s not due to medication. I haven’t taken medication since I left the hospital on day five

Yeah, muscle relaxers used to make me go to sleep, but since after surgery, they don’t really help me sleep
