A member asked:
Could an injury to the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve due to surgery heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Takes Time: Will take a long time to heal. Nerves are one of the slowest tissues in your body to return back to normal. Many times it can be month, if not years if they do heal.
