A member asked:
Skin is still numb after blunt force trauma to my side, still swollen after eight days, will i get feeling back? if yes, how long is the recover period?

Hard to figure: No specifics on area of body, but I'll be generic. A nerve injury recovers in 3-4 weeks if the myelin insulation is solely affected, and if central axon (wire) is involved, grows back at 0.1 mm/day, speed of fingernail growth.
