I have nerve damaged arm from an accident 16 years ago (injury to back near shoulder). 8 weeks ago someone accidently caused a nerve compression injury on that arm. will it likely heal and, if so, what symptoms indicate healing?

The neurological system within the body has a significant amount of plasticity (meaning it can get most functioning back after a minor accident). It is difficult to predict your healing pattern without a more thorough history of your previous injury, your current symptoms and any neurological studies in your past.
