A member asked:
How long after stroke can one distinguish short term (reversible) /permanent (irreversible) damage?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Stroke: There isn't a simple answer. Some strokes appear likely to be irreversible from the start but improve notwithstanding. Healing of nerve damage can take many weeks and therapy can also modify what's going on so a simple answer that fits all situations isn't possible.
