What Causes Dizziness Along With Double Vision?
An MRI detected what I have been told is a non-specific change in white matter. I am being referred to a Neurologist. What prompted the MRI was dizziness, double/triple vision, twitching of my body, etc. I have been on several medications since aortic valve and aneurysm replacement last May. A complication to that was two chords of the brachial plexus were severed during open heart surgery. Neurosurgery surgery was performed 5 days after neurosurgery. After 9 months of rehab I am left with several dead muscles and continued nerve pain. My question is, could the nerve damage be related to this change in white matter?
