Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

You need to discuss this with your doctor. Were numbing issues discussed as a side effect? If not, and it has been 2.5 years, you need to follow this up. You may have permanent nerve damage but you need an evaluation to know why this happened and to get a treatment plan.
Best,
Susan
