Guest guest Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Yes, there is always a possibility for permanent numbness, but not likely. However, it may take a long time...some have had no feeling for years and then all of a sudden, the feelings started to return. Most likely, though, the numbness will be almost completely (if not completely) gone within a year. My OS told me that complete healing can take about 5 years although the noticeable healing usually doesn't take nearly that long. Smooches still numb... > > > hey I haven't posted in a while.
