Hi, @elizabeth1958 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sorry to hear you not only had to have this big surgery, but now you have new issues with lightheadedness and balance, sometimes with vision issues.

Glad you have connected with @mrmacabre. I also wanted to invite @jsbigsky to comment based on what he's seen with his wife's spinal experiences and @jenniferhunter based on her experience and knowledge about whether they have seen these effects plague someone after spine surgery before.

Are you finding anything at all that brings you some relief, elizabeth1958?
