Nerve Surgery and Nerve Repair
Many times when someone goes in for a surgery it's performed and nerves are cut. The regeneration process is very slow so these nerve fibers move about a millimeter a day. Sometimes surgeons will say hey you have a little bit of damage here but you're feeling numb don't worry you should see things coming back in the next few months. If pain comes back in that three to six month timeframe then that's probably a signal that there may be a problem with the nerve as well as the regeneration.
