If it's just numbness, which is a fairly harmless symptom, even tho it's really really really really really annoying, I would skip the steroids and wait it out. If things have been improving for you, just have a little patience and wait a little longer.

Just be careful around anything hot so you dont burn yourself.

I know numbness is really uncomfortable. It's been one of the more bothersome symptoms for me. I really really really hate numbness.
Yes, the numbness is bothersome, but harmless. It is gradually going away so maybe it is a good idea to let nature take its course.

I will e-mail my neuro about it though.
