A member asked:
I had a ganglion removed from my wrist 5 months ago. the surgery site, a quarter-sized area, is still numb. sometimes there's a stinging sensation.

Ganglion: Removal of wrist ganglions can have associated small numb areas with some occasional stinging. This is many times a result of some gentle nerve retraction which " irritates " the nerve, many times it takes 12-14 months to resolve

Normal: May take 6 mo to a year to return to normal due to disruption of small cutaneous nerves. Don't worry
