There are actually some posts in the forum in which people have gone a year with numbness and they were giving up hope.
I was finding a lot of information on here and I came across that posts...I can't remember whom it was though, sorry.
Goldilocks, hypersensitivity is definitely a factor in numbness after a HT.
Weather is a common factor of this with other surgeries. A friend of mine tore her ACL and every time it rains it gets really sensitive...so she says.
Great thread! Any other thoughts?
