numbness above knee level is coming from lumber vertebra propably due to the 4 month in brace
and long term inactivity
your knee flextion limitation is expected
if numbness apears only in the morning then it should go away on its own once you are active again
otherwise you should do lumber CT scan to be safe
Good Luck
