@ryanab - It’s good to know that you have some positive improvements. You’re still in somewhat early recovery especially since you had bilateral surgery. It’s very good news that you had a little reduction in your head pressure for a couple of days as I think that may show what is coming as more time passes. It may still be another month or so before your energy comes back. It’s your body’s way of keeping you less active so it can put energy into healing not into your other activities. I expect that’s not what you want to hear but it was my experience after my surgeries.
I know loud, chronic tinnitus is terrible. I suffer from that, too. Your tight neck & shoulder muscles might be playing a role in that. @vcp02 posted some interesting information today: Cranial-Cervical Fascial Influence After Eagle Syndrome that you may be interested in reading as the information could help you move your recovery along.
As far as a tight incision, it’s helpful at this point for you to begin gently massaging your incision scars using some type of oil on your finger tips as a lubricant. Bio oil, vitamin E oil, or coconut oil are good options. Gentle massage can help reduce the thickness of the scar as it brings better blood flow to the area as it heals. Your left side could be stiffer/thicker feeling because there is more swelling on that side. The scar tissue may naturally flatten out as time passes.
Did Dr. Kamran recommend getting a follow-up CT scan at some point after your surgery?
