I have an acoustic neuroma in my right ear and I am 61 years old. I had to get a nice surgery and now it seems that it’s stable. About two years ago, I broke my ankle in three spots. Unfortunately, I broke it when I was on vacation in a different state. When I returned home, I saw a doctor, but she kept me off my feet, such a long and my knees became atrophied. I couldn’t straighten my knees. I am finally able to walk again because I was using a DYNA splint that helped my knees go straighter. As far as my acoustic neuroma, I am having an issue when I stand. I feel very lightheaded. I just hope that the tumor isn’t getting any bigger.

Welcome, @stveperryfn. I can imagine that your mind goes straight to the neuroma when experiencing the light-headedness or anything with your balance, ear or head. Light-headedness upon standing can be any number of things, including being inactive for a while.

Have you made an appointment with your doctor or neurologist to follow up with your new symptoms of feeling light-headed when standing?
