Check with surgeon: Even 6 months out there can be issues connected to the surgery. More importantly, though, you should take a look at your nutritional status. B vitamin deficiency can cause numbness or you may have issues with elevated blood sugars or low thyroid function. An assessment with a doctor that can evaluate your overall health would be worthwhile.
