    yes it does go away . I used crutches for 8 weeks and had quite bad numbness and tingling . I'm at week 12 now and the tingling has gone . you should be okay , like the whole thing with healing after a break , it just needs time .

    wishing you well

    I used a walker and not crutches for the 6 weeks during the non weight bearing phase. My problem has been a pain in my right bicep that is finally getting better after many months. I call this a secondary injury/pain that occurs when you depend on your arm to carry you throughout the day. Doctors never mention these pains happening when you are recovering from an injury.
