Dizziness after broken ankle

     I broke my ankle 3 months ago and was 8 weeks in a cast.

     For the last 3 weeks, I have developed dizziness.

     I am wondering if they are caused by the many ways I used my body because of my injury, ie: sitting down on the wheelchair, standing with my crutches; sitting too long etc. Could the above contribute to my dizziness?  

     Also, because my injured foot has caused my body to be off kilter, could this also contribute to dizziness?

      Hi G! I am post menopause. After going to the doctor, he diagnosed me with labrythinitis. It is supposed to be temporary. I am hoping it is! Have a good day and thank you for your reply!
