Please explain how long does it take for the numbness to go away?

Depends upon cause: But, let's assume injury to peripheral nerve, and problem begins to heal. If solely the nerve coverings, myelin, has been impaired, the process improves over 4 weeks. If the axon inner portion is damaged, it could take months, as nerve function in this case matches fingernail growth, 0.1 mm daily.
