Blunt force injury 5 months ago. nerve injury noticed a month ago with continued swelling. still numb and swollen. when will my sensation and grip strength return?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generic answer: Since you provide only cursory description, cannot respond precisely. But once acute swelling and inflammation subsides, nerve recovery proceeds as follows: 1. If damage to nerve covering involving Shwann cell, recovers over 3-4 weeks, 2. Axonal injury, is restored at speed of fingernail growth, 0.1 mm daily.
