How To Cure Numbness And Soreness Due To Anterior Hip Replacement?

Ok, I m over 3.5 yrs since anterior hip replacement....I still have a LOT of numbness and some soreness and sometimes burning at the site... I realize numbness is an issue and MORE SO with anterior hip replacements.....can I expect that this is permanent nerve damage? Is Ice and Heat both good to use for this numbness? thanks.
