Possible: If u stretched some sensory nerves u can have this ; they do recover with time. If u r in a cast, tight casts will cause this ; u should c ur ortho, may need to split the cast. If you have had surgery, there may have been some damage done 2 a nerve. If this is the case u will eventually get used to it. The brain gets tired of the same complaint being sent 2 it ; u will not b aware of it, , only touc.

It is possible: But you need to inform your treating doctor. Are you in a cast? If so inform the doctor as it needs to be changed.
