Can you repair nerve damage in hand?

I was diagnosed with nerve damage in hand. Is it serious? What are the treatment options?

Acute and chronic nerve injuries can be repaired. The degree and mechanism of injury, the time since injury, general health and age of the patient are all factors in recovery.
Well it depends on what caused the nerve damage…and many other details. There may be surgical options to help. Please consult your local hand surgeon if possible.
