Accepted Answer

Nerve injury recover: Nerves consist of insulation called myelin and fibers which carry signals.  If only the myelin has been damaged, usually function will return. If the nerve has been partially severed, some recovery is possible.   If the nerve has been completely severed then recovery is not likely. A test called electromyography/nerve conduction study can tell the type of injury and the best treatment.

Question 10

why does my knee hyper extend when i change directions while running?

Accepted Answer

You probably have a: condition called Subluxating patella, which is seen commonly in teenagers, mostly girls. The knee cap due to ligament laxity gets to move outwards from the stronger outer ligaments while the inner ligaments are stretched or weak. So everytime you turn suddenly your knee cap will tend to move outwards with hyperentension of the knee.
Need to see an Orthopod and get intensive Therapy as well.
