Excessive duration of the pins has caused permanent damage to the nerve endings. These control pain, touch, sensation of the body in different breathes damaged nerve endings take a long time to regenerate, sometimes do not, or sometimes worsen. As such there is no specific treatment for this Conservative treatment for pain can be followed, with, multivitamin therapy for placebo. Take care.
