It is entirely normal for this condition not to achieve complete resolution at present, as individual recovery timelines vary significantly—depending on differences in metabolic and circulatory function. Moreover, medication remains essential during the recovery period. Combining pharmacotherapy with physical modalities—such as acupuncture or heat application—may yield even better outcomes.
