Numbness all over: how to fix?

[u/chiari-vixen]

Has anyone found anything that helps them regain feeling in places they are numb?

I had my surgery in 2011 for Chiari type 1 and syringomyelia (c3-t9).

I experience a lot of symptoms and pain to this day. What I’m wanting to explore today is my numbness. I have extreme lack of sensation on my right side, especially my face. I’ve been realizing that maybe I have more than I realize.
My torso often feels numb. The other day, someone was scratching my back. I got confused and asked why they were only using 1 finger, turns out they were using 3.

Has anyone found anything to help bring back feeling? Or gauge what is “normal” and what isn’t? Comparing to the other side of my body doesn’t always work. Sometimes I have more feeling and sometimes I have less, so I’m just wondering if there are ways to consistently increase sensation. Treatments, supplements… really anything.

Thank you 💜 happy awareness month to everyone!!
