Could The Weakness Be Due To Surgical Removal Of Cyst At The Tailbone?

i am 19, 5ft 3. i am in the final stages of healing from a cyst on my tailbone being surgicaly removed. i had no problems in surgery or after. i have had a constant faint feeling for about 2 weeks. i went to the doctors, and they gave me ear drops because they thought it could have been a blockage. after a week i went back because the faintness never went away. then they took bloods and a urine sample i have just got them back and everything is normal. Any ideas what it could be ?

HI,Welcome to HCM.I studied your query.I understood Your health concerns.
Based on the facts of your query,you seems to suffer from-postoperative hypotension from healing salt imbalance? or could be post-spinal Hypotensive fainting.As the postoperative period was long for 2 weeks ,associated anaemia needs to be ruled out.
Most common cause seems to be from hyper-responsiveness to spinal anaesthetic used,with post-spinal hypovolemia,lasting for a long period.
Salt replacement would resolve this issue.
As the facts are very scanty,I would also suggest you to take Second opinion from Surgeon,to rule out other causes which would cause such symptom/complaints,after physical/clinical examination.

Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.

Good Day!!
