6 Months Post Op and I Still Feel DIZZY, What Should I Do?

DirtdiverdoctaSep 28, 2013
Hello doctors, I am 6 months down a seemingly successful mini TT except for the fact that I developed quite abit of scar tissue which they say is not super common and may require revision. Anyway, I had surgery April 19 and struggled with weakness and dizzyness for 5 weeks after that. It was pretty intense and I couldn't work. I then got (well enough) to try go back to my regular life! But since then until today I have a constant head tension, I'm constantly dizzy. Especially when walking around
