The duration for nerve healing after surgery can vary based on several factors, such as the type and location of the surgery, the extent of nerve damage, and individual variations. In general, nerve healing is a gradual process that can take weeks to months. However, it's essential to consult with your healthcare provider for a more accurate estimation based on your specific case. They can provide you with the most appropriate information and guidance regarding your nerve healing process.

Healthy nerves tend to heal at a rate of 1 inch per month. Keep in mind that recovery time will depend on how much distance the growing nerve needs to cover. Successful nerve growth to the neuromuscular endplate may take as long as 6-12 months after surgery.
