Thank you for this helpful insight. It seems like the body has adjusted to the crowding, so now that there's room, the nerves can by fully innervated, something they've not been able to do for a long time. Please be patient and know that it will get better. God bless you.

sorry to hear you are dizzy and have problems with your shoulder.  I spoke to my surgeon recently regarding the risks of surgery and one thing he noted was exactly what is happening to your shoulder.  He said it is from the 11th cranial nerve.  From what I remember he said the nerve is reacting from being compressed for so long and then reacting to all the room it has so to speak.  It can go a little haywire and you can no longer move your arm.  He said with physical therapy most patients make a full recovery.
