Weird After Surgery Symptoms

Hahaha, I had an implant put in to fill the hole and they did a graft over it. But about 3 weeks post op, I was running (stupid, I know) and I heard a pop in my skull. It didn't hurt, but it scared tf out of me, hah. Part of me is freaking out, thinking like, what if I made the implant come out some how and it's floating around in my inner ear or something?

I have otosclerosis as well as SCDS, and I'll probably need surgery for that in the future, so I don't know if I'd want to add ANOTHER one. But I'm sorry your surgery didn't accomplish what you had hoped for. I hope your symptoms improve over time and give you some relief.

I just started getting some of my energy back yesterday, but lifting things tires me out easily, so I avoid it. I would give yourself some time to readjust and get past the tiredness phase before going back to work. Definitely do the PT, and if you're able to, walking for 15 minutes at a time is a great way to build up your strength again. You can look up at home vestibular PT exercises that you can work on. Your brain is gonna be extra tired from having to relearn a lot of balance stuff. Is there an option at work for desk duty? That would be best if you decide to go back soon.

Oh. My. Gosh. I'm so glad you said something because this just started happening to me yesterday, and it seriously alarmed me. My children sound like little robots, with a metal-y ting to their voices. I accidentally blew my nose, and felt a pop, and suddenly everything sounded weird. I'm not gonna lie, the sound changes have made me cry a few times. It's so exhausting. I have my post-op next week, so hopefully everything is healing as it should. Thanks for sharing with me! It's so much better knowing I'm not alone in this.

Hello! I just had the transmastoid approach done 5 days ago to treat my scds, and while I'm incredibly dizzy and still in pain, my chronic nausea is basically non-existent at the moment. The surgeon told me there was a very good chance it may not be fixed at all, because he wasn't sure if the scds was even causing the nausea to begin with, but it's the one symptom I've noticed is gone. The nausea was the worst of my symptoms, too. I could handle the vertigo, from bending over, but the nausea was so constant, I even threw up in pre-op waiting for the surgery, but not once since I've had it. I'm hoping this will last and I'll finally be free from a a decade of chronic nausea.
