HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Trauma can cause temporary disruption or problems with the nerves in the area.

As you heal, the numbness should resolve. It is possible that it may peak at day 2 to 3 (along with the other symptoms) but should then resolve after that point.

If you still feel unsure then you should be seen.

I hope this helps
