What to do when the limbs are numb after treatment for cerebral hemorrhage?

Question
Hello doctor, I was sick about 30 months ago, had a brain hemorrhage. After being operated on by the doctors, I exercised well so I recovered well, now I can walk, write or communicate well. But half of the body is numb all the time, went to acupuncture, went to many doctors but it did not help, many doctors advised to exercise and accept to live with the disease. So according to the doctor's advice, what should I do if my limbs are numb after treatment for cerebral hemorrhage? I had high blood pressure before, so I had a brain hemorrhage. Thank you doctor!

Like yours, the movement has recovered well (walking, writing and communicating well), but there is still a long-term sequelae of sensory disturbance (paralysis of the half of the body).
With this condition, you can have rehabilitation therapy or traditional medicine or you can use a combination of neuropathic pain relievers if the numbness is much or the pain is a lot. And this sequelae can be long-lasting. Gradually, however, symptoms will improve. Besides, it is very important that you control hypertension to prevent recurrence of complications. .
