Ears after translab?!
« on: March 12, 2013, 01:25:31 pm »
Hi everyone! I had my translab one month ago and wondering how long my ear is going to feel full feeling? It's driving me crazy! And now everytime I swallow BOTH my ears feel like they are popping? Any input would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth I had my translab 2 years ago and the fullness has never gone and it drives me mad as well I also have constant tinnitis with it but don't have the popping you described.

Had my translab 3 years ago this month. Never had a full feeling following surgery. I will remind you, this recovery is looooong term, so just let it happen. Not a good answer, but that is the best I can offer. I am still wonky and that drives me crazy...just comes with cards we got delt.

Hi James I know you are right in what you say and I do try to remember it's long term.  After 2 years I still have facial palsy and problems with my eye, but I am tumour free and so thankful for that.
