Post surgery numbess
I've had a clavicle surgery, the largest plate possible and 7 screws were put in 3 months ago. There is numbness in my chest, it has receded in some spots and grown in others, the skin beginning to hurt a little bit if I touch it on the edges of where the numbness is on the skin. So my question is will the numbness and the scar ever go away?

I think we should stop commenting on post op cases and let the surgeon only comment and guide the patient

Scar may not go away but match to your skin colour in 1-2 years.
The numbness of skin over and around operated site may take 9 months to recover or may not recover if the cutaneous nerves were transfected during surgery or injury.
Share x-rays.
