Dizzy after C4-7 acdf 11 weeks post op

Hi,
Looking for more advice from those of you who have been awesome in helping me. So, my surgeon said I don't need to wear my hard collar anymore last week except in car or risky situations. And he said to start weening off collar slowly altogether. Since last Wednesday I switched (gladly) to the soft collar and take breaks out of the collar. I keep getting very dizzy when I am not in the collar even if I am just sitting. I had mentioned to the doctor that I get dizzy without the collar in the shower and he chalked it up to post surgery fatigue and didn't seem to be concerned. This morning I got so dizzy I almost vomited just sitting and having breakfast. Is this just getting used to being out of the collar? Or should I check in with my doctor again? Any of you had that happen? Thanks, TN

Your 11 weeks out, did this start only after the collar change? You never did it before? Do you do it always with no collar or do you do it wearing the soft collar too?

It's not something I have seen normally at 11 weeks out, not unheard of but usually associated with collar removal altogether and thus my questions. Most only experience it for a day or so after removing their collar and is associated with your sense of equilibrium from the limited movement of your head for so long.

I think if it were me I would call the office and make them aware I were still having this happen.

Good luck!
