Question 3

what are nerve zingers in a healing hand?

Accepted Answer

Stingers: Is it healing from an injury, after surgery? A short answer is that nerves sprout new axons to establish a re connection once injured, and this could cause aberrant signalling until the sprouts have full functioning. The insulation (myelin) on a nerve also has to be built back up so after injury also , and until that happens the nerve is also not functioning properly.

Question 4

is increasing pain normal when a damaged nerve is healing?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As a nerve regenerates, it can fire in erratic patterns, causing pain and tingling.  This usually resolves as healing progresses.  Pain can also be generated by the brain and spinal cord after the connection to a nerve has been lost- an extreme example of this is phantom limb pain, where an amputee feels burning pain in the limb after it has been removed.

nerve blocks (injections) also are helpful.Surgery may help if the 'damage' is not yet permanent.
