A member asked:

Will the dizziness end after tumor in cerebellum is removed? it's caused my gf to be bed ridden since feb. and caused her bad anxiety too.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It can get better: While long lasting symptoms do not necessary end after the cause is removed, there is physical therapy to help rehabilitate the vestibular system and decrease the dizziness. While it has been going on, the body has rewired the vestibular system to compensate. Therapy after the surgery will help undo the compensatory wiring and restore more normal vestibular sense. Medication can also be givento block the ongoing formation of aberrant pathways. Talk to a good physical therapist and a good occupational therapist about this
