I'm 4 months post fusion (T4-S1). I have been experiencing dizziness since surgery, although mine was usually associated with laying down or turning my head quickly. It was determined to be vertigo, and one visit to a physical therapist has fixed the problem. The Epley procedure they used requires some head turning, so you may not be a candidate.

Good luck!

I am 1 year out T5-S1 fusion - and I have dizziness to pass almost feeling like I am about to pass out. Was obviously worse after surgery. If I bend certain ways, or stay bent a certain way, i'll feel dizzy and pressure like I am going to pass out. It does not cause my BP to rise. I have lost 40 lbs in the hope of it getting better. I also have a lot of fluid around the spine, as per my pain DR. Surgeon said it was fine. Most of the fluid is back there after several months. no clue about the dizzy etc. I have multiple disc issues all the way up to C5 from S1 almost every disc is herniated, even thoracic with the ribs
