Question 1

how long takes a alveolar nerve damage to heal?

Accepted Answer

Nerve damage heal: There are different type of nerve damage. If it is just demyelinating injury (damage the peel of nerve), it would need a few weeks to heal after the etiology removal. If axonal damage, the nerve need regrowth from spine about 2-3 mm per day if the pathway soft tissue (frame of nerve) is still intact. It is almost impossible to full recovery nerve function if both axon and  frame are messed up.

Question 4

i got inferior alveolar nerve damage 6 weeks ago sensation is back but my lip and gums still feel tight and heavy is this the last thing to come back?

Takes time: It might take some time for all the sensation to go back to normal. Sometimes months. You should definitely discuss it  with your dentist  to keep a close watch on that.

Question 5

broke jaw have nerve damage to the inferior alveolar nerve  bout 9 weeks ago most of numbnes gone but lip and  chin tightness remain , how much longer?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on the severity of the injury. In this case sounds like shearing or crush injury but sometimes if it's stretch with no damage to the axon it may recover quickly. Otherwise, human axon growth rates are 1 mm/day in small nerves and 5 mm/day in large nerves. If there is no way the nerve would reconnect then maybe permanent but best to check with a maxillofacial surgeon.
Best of luck!

Question 6

what is the best medicine for neuropathy?

Accepted Answer

Topic is too broad: Neuropathy is not a single disease - it is a complication found in a number of different conditions. If a  single or multiple nerves are affected by neuropathy, the cause is targeted for treatment, but if the cause cannot be corrected, symptomatic pain relief takes place.
Rec: see a pain management specialist for diagnosis and cause treatment.

Question 7

how come when u have neuropathy u feel colder than normal?

Accepted Answer

Nerves not send righ: When you have neuropathy your nerves don't feel sensations correctly.   The nerves are you wiring. They are your internal electrical circuit . If your wires aren't working right then they don't send your sensations to you correctly. The better you can diagnose why you have neuropathy the better the treatment can be.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

: This is a public information site where volunteer docs from around the US offer to answer questions about medical problems of patients. It is not a library nor is there room in the responses we provide to provide such a list. A good resource can be found at the National library of medicine which can be accessed online.

Question 9

how to treat neuropathy?

Accepted Answer

Many ways: Neuropathy in of itself can be related to many different disease processes, such as diabetes. Improved control of the disease process may result in some improvement  in the neuropathy symptoms. Other treatments may include meds in anti-seizure class that act to "calm" over active nerves causing discomfort. If refractory to meds and conservative tx, neuromodulation through spinal cord stimulation.

Question 10

can coq10 help neuropathy?

Accepted Answer

Probably Not: Might help some but b-vitamins like folate (folic acid), (folic acid) b-12 and b-6  are most likely to help. Get your homocysteine level checked to make sure that your body can use standard folate (folic acid) and b-12-about 30 to 40% can't and need the the methyl form of both of these. If your neuropathy is diabetes related, better control of your blood sugar may help, also. Discuss with your doctor as these issues are complex.
