The short answer is yes. However, it depends on what type of nerve was cut: mixed, sensory, or motor. It also depends on what the mechanism of the injury was, i.e., cut, crush, or stretch. You have age on your side; younger patients typically do better with nerve surgeries than older patients. However, to answer this accurately, one would need to know where the nerve was cut and when it was repaired in relation to the injury.
Depends on which nerve and how much damage. Please consult a neurologist.
I am sorry to hear that. Sometimes, nerve damage will improve over time. Sometimes there are surgeries or other treatments that could help as well.It really depends on your specific situation.
It all depends upon the type of nerve damage. There are some that can be. Best to see a neurosurgeon who specializes in peripheral nerve injuries.
