is there a nerve recovering window for a surgical nerve transplant? i heard you have two years to get as much connection from nerve to mussle before your nerve stops healing and what you got is all you have. and i was wondering is a full recovery possible if your injery needed surgery?

Hello Marian,

I think that the grade of recovery is not a matter of having surgery or not. For what I understand it depends on the grade of injury (avulsion, stretch? etc..) I have heard of cases where the injury was only stretched nerves and after some years there was almost complete recovery. This has not been my case, where I had avulsion of nerves!

Hope this helped.
