Need to talk it over with your surgeon.If no clear understanding get a second opinion.
Please consult Surgeon. May start acupuncture with moxibustion. Start PT/OT.
Numbness has several causes and should be brought to the attention of your surgeon. There may be surgical reasons for numbness, anesthetic reasons for the numbness or surgical dressing reasons for the numbness. Your surgeon will be able to give you some answers concerning this.
