A member asked:

Nerve Damage: When surgery is performed (like a C-section), nerves supplying the skin and muscle in the area a cut. These nerves grow back over a period of months. Until the nerve is fully functional, you will continue to have numbness. This is not dangerous but it can be annoying.
