When a nerve has been cut healing consists of 1 mm/month. Up until 6-12 months If a nerve has been severed it’s possible that the nerve can reattach and heal. the feeling and sensations will come back. If after one year and numbness and loss of sensation has not returned, chances are it will not return Please consult with a neurologist
