A member asked:

Does nerve pain ever go away?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Irving Harper answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Can: Depends on the etiology of the nerve pain. If the nerve was injured by compression and the compression resolves, then most likely it will resolve. Same with most infectious causes of nerve pain. If it is from trauma, it may resolve but can take an extended amount of time.
