thank you for the question.i would suggest you to take neurobion forte once daily for 3 months. sometimes there is delayed recovery of sensations of nerve as long as after 2 years so be hopeful.Also if possible go to a vascular surgeon or have color doppler for leg circulation just in case blood circulation is impaired, in anycase it should be ruled out. you may seek help of physical therapist and do contrast bath to feet in cold and hot water alternately for 10 minutes for few days and do ankle, foot and toe exercises
