Hi.
As per your case history of loss of sensation, my treatment advice is -
1. Altered sensations may be due to vitamin b12 deficiency.
2. Take healthy nutritious diet containing green leafy vegetables, milk, pulses.
3. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.

If problem persists then consult a neurologist.

Thanks.
