Is A Rotator Cuff Surgery Safe While Suffering From Dizziness And Vision Loss?
My husband is scheduled to have rotator cuff surgery on Tuesday. He has a spell of dizziness , losing balance, and loss of peripheral vision at work last night. He says he just doesn t feel good. He has had a spell like this one other time. In the past couple of months and went his regular doctor. He had a bunch of blood work done, including a Lyme disease test. I am very concerned about him having surgery Tuesday.

Is A Rotator Cuff Surgery Safe While Suffering From Dizziness And Vision Loss?
Hi, With this condition where he is not feeling well. I would not recommend any shoulder surgery. He should be investigated for the cause of dizziness and loss of peripheral vision first -which might be due to some serious disease. Shoulder surgery- an elective procedure can be done later. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
