In brief: See ur surgeon
There are a number of treatments available to help stimulate healing, including medications and laser therapy.
Knowing exactly what caused the paresthesia would be helpful in determining the therapy necessary.

In brief: Prednisone
Medrol (methylprednisolone) dose pak if started soon enough after paresthesia was noted, ice to reduce swelling.
Otherwise, will usually come back over time (months).

In brief: See a neurologist
Even administration of local anesthetic could be a cause of the paresthesia. The bottom line, paresthesia is a nerve damage disorder and should be treated as a neuropathy by a neurologist.
