Can you tell me a little about the mechanism of injury and when it happened ?
Your recovery will depend on several factors but the short answer is - yes, it can get better.
The major factor in your recovery is - was the nerve demyelinated during injury? Was it cut , nicked or compressed ?
During the initial nerve injury the treatment is steroids.
If the nerve is no longer compressed , it will recover.
You may not get the full function back, but it may get better.
When I had a nerve I hurry, I wrote to a specialist at Boston Medical. It was too late for me, but if I did it sooner, my recovery would have been better.
Larger cities have microscopes, they can go inside and examine your nerve to see what the problem is. I wouldn’t wait much longer and start looking.
You need a micro neurosurgeon

wow! thank you so much! My nerve was nicked.
Do you mind sharing your story with me?
I meet with a neurosurgeon this month, I'm not sure if its a micro surgeon. I'm hopeful for some real serious answers when I see him.

HELLO, HAS THE DOCTOR RESPOSIBLE TAKER RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULT ?
HAVE YOU SEEN SPECIALISTS ?
HAVE YOU BEEN OFFERED COMPENSATION ?
HOW OLD ARE YOU ?
Sorry I have so many questions to ask, just so I can know a little about you and it is for me in what advice to Gove you.
Answer me and I will.get back to you ASSP.
I am not a professional now but am living with CHRONIC PAIN.

I had a crush injury to my jaw. They went in and placed 2 plates. I then developed osteomyelitis and has several more surgeries.
My first surgeon didn’t know what he was doing.
My facial nerve was crushed, compressed, stretched, inflamed and then decompressed. After so much injury it grew scar tissue , so they had to go around it and clean out the scars.
I recovered function and sensation, but I still have terrible neuropathy and pain.
If I knew what I know now, I would have went to Boston immediately.
If it is a regular neurosurgeon, they won’t be able to repair the nerve. Definitely start looking for a microneurosurgeon. The nerve repair surgery takes hours because they have to look under the microscope to see where the damage is and if it can be repaired. If the nerve is cut, they can do a nerve transplant from a cadaver .
Your other options is to wait until the nerve heals and regrows. It can take at least a year. During this time you MUST go for physical therapy and acupuncture.
There is also some thought that Acetyl-l-Carnitine amino acid helps with nerve regeneration, but it is likely BS.
It is in your favor that you are young and chances are you will get better

Thank you so much. I really appreciate all of your help.

let me know how you make out. The quicker you get a consult in a large city the better. I went to see my specialist 2 years after my accident and there was little hope for me, but he did offer me to at least go in and take a look and see if they can do a transplant.

I definitely will let you know what happens!
Do you plan on getting the transplant if the specialist can do it?

No, I m not going to do it because I already had too many surgeries and they had to cut out a lot of tissue and remove bone. The chance of failure is too high for me.
If I was in your shoes, I would probably go for it, if the option was there

I understand! I'm hopeful for some answers at my appointment. Today I'm in such pain, it's chilly and raining where I am. This just sucks.

I m so sorry that you are hurting. Hope you will get some resolution to this problem.
Have they done an EMG ?

Yes I have. It was abnormal.

My thoughts are definitely with you! I was a ballerina and in my early 20's I had my ankle rebuilt so I could complete a marathon to raise money for cancer. The many years of ballet & performing on an injured ankle raised issues, the surgery should have been simple I woke near screaming begging the Dr.s something was wrong. After a year of being called a baby, drug seeking & dramatic I agreed if the EMG showed nothing I'd walk away. Well the tourniquet pinched off the myelin sheath & the pain was horrific. Instead of a marathon it was walkers, wheelchairs & pain like no other. It took 4 1/2 yrs for sheath to grow back & in that time I lost joy a piece of me died.
Don't stop until you get answers & until you're working with a medical professional who understands the magnitude of this type of pain. Best of luck!

Peripheral Neuropathy is one of those things that are different for each person. Nerves heal at different lengths of time and sometimes they only heal to a certain point. I have Peripheral Neuropathy in my legs from breaking 2 Vertabrae in my back. At times it feels like I'm being stung by bees, at times they just tingle. If I sit the wrong way from my knees down they just go completely dead and ice cold. Mine's been like this for 11 years now and won't get any better, sorry, I'm sure you were hoping I'd say it went away.

Waiting and seeing how it heals is about all you can do. There are nerve meds you can try, but mine doesn't respond to any kind of medication.
