Please help! what happens when nerves are severed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle Weakness: It will take a long time for nerves to regenerate. If the nerves are not surgically re-connected, it becomes really hard for full function to return. Even with surgery there is evidence you may not get full recovery.
