Nerve damage comes in many different varieties. Sometimes watchful waiting is best, sometimes with medication, sometimes surgery. It really depends on the situation.

This is a difficult question to answer without more specific information. This really depends upon what you mean by: "nerve damage." Nerve damage can be secondary to conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome whereby the nerve is compressed. This can be treated with either a splint, and/or cortisone injections or surgical release. Nerve damage can also be secondary to an injury such as a nerve laceration which would requires surgical repair or reconstruction. I suggest that you see a hand surgeon to get a proper evaluation.
