There is no way anybody can predict how long it will take for you to recover. 85% recover during the first 6 weeks but the other 15% can take much longer.
Do you have any stiffness or soreness in your neck, especially your upper neck ? Icing your upper neck may help.
How does your head respond to activity that increases your pulse and blood pressure ? Getting more blood flowing to your brain may make a difference. Have you tried anything like a brisk walk ?

Hi! Thanks for the reply. I have tried going out for a walk a couple of times a day but this presents problems due to painful foot! No neck stiffness or soreness. If it wasn't for the lightheadedness I would be fine. I usually feel OK in bed and turning over doesn't increase the dizziness. Also if I am just sitting it is not too bad. It is only when I start moving either on foot or in the car. I had at least hoped for a small improvement but if anything it seems to be worse. I guess I just have to be patient!
