Evaluation soon: Nerve damage is often a term i hear in clinic but does not necessarily mean permanent damage. If the decreased nerve function is caused by compression then surgical treatment is usually indicated to relieve the pressure and allow the nerve to regain function. There are also some nutritional products that have been proven to help such as methylcobalamin, acetyl l carnitine, r Alpha lipoid acid, etc.

Nerve pain: You must be treated by a neurologist or pain physician. Do your best to try non-addictive pills first. Pain medicines, opioids, should be back up medicines and not your first choice.
