Laceration Under Knee After Falling. Lost Sensation. Will The Sensation Return Back?
I had an accident 10 days ago falling down a lot of sandstone steps outdoors. I have a 7inch laceration under my knee and a lot of feeling has been lost. I have approx 30 stitches in 3 layers although no tendants or bones damaged. Do you think the feeling will return in my shin there is. Lot of numbness. I also had osteomytalitis as a child do you think this could reoccur?

Hi and welcome to HCM
Cause of loss of sensation seems to be due to injury to superficial nerve fibres.
As the healing occurs , it will recovers gradually. Taking pregablin and methylcobalamin supplements will be helpful.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
