Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi
Do not worry..I may suggest you to take methycobalamin and lyrica75mg twice a day for a month and application of voveran TPS gel on numb areas..the sensations would improve as lyrica preserves nerve function.
If need be, lyrica dose may be increased to 100 mg twice a day.
Consult a neurologist also
Best wishes
