Hi Dr.Smith.
Thank you for your reply. I guess my concern is that I have been prescribed the paracetamol to stop the numbness. I am not taking it. I take 1-2 advils a day instead. That's about 400 mg of advil a day instead of 4 grams s of panadol a day. Since the advil is really an anti-inflammatory (panadol is not) I thought that if I really have inflamed nerves and this is the reason for the numbness... I have a better chance with the advil. It has gotten about 15- 20% better since it's onset. That's not very much but at least it's something. I have my doubts though that anything can really stop numbness. Numbness is not pain.
