COMMENTS: I will assume you wish to know prognosis regarding your radial nerve. Let's assume the nerve was not severed. If your insulation, myelin is all that was affected, you would have good recovery by 28 days, but sounds like some axonal impact, which recovers at speed of fingernail growth, about 0.1 mm daily. So, suggests it may take many months for maximal recovery. Take B complex, and do some PT.
