A member asked:

How can my mom get rid of the numbness after a bone spur surgery over a year ago?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It would depend on : Wy the numbness is present. If nerves are entrapped for example versus if they are cut , there is a difference in treatment approach. I would first recommend injection therapy.
