Carotid endarterectomy - post 5 months

Interesting. I have moderate bilateral carotid stenosis but not serious enough to warrant an endarterectomy. I share the tinnitus and leg issues with you. Sometimes my legs make me so wobbly that I appear drunk and have actually suffered a few falls. Also, several times they have had a mind of their own and when I want to turn they keep going straight! I have white matter disease and lacunar strokes and always attributed these symptoms to those issues.

At my next neurology visit I will make sure to discuss this. It might be beneficial for you to have an MRI to see if you have chronic microvascular disease or lacunar strokes that might be contributing to your situation.

Good luck!

Hi, @dtnz. I notice you recently joined Mayo Clinic Connect. Welcome! Your question posted in another older discussion has not been answered. I hope to help with that by tagging a few members here.

@malliecallie, @tullah, @rjbb2, @alexismayo and @gloaming are familiar with carotid endarterectomy and may have helpful information as you work through head and leg symptoms 5-most post op.

I am so glad to hear you are feeling healthy otherwise. Have you had a chance to run your concerns by your doctor?

Thank you, have an appointment in a week or so with my doctor so will talk to her in depth about these issues. Wishing everyone wellness ❤️
