Wound healing takes weeks; nerve recovery takes months. Many patients notice change between three and twelve months, and improvement can continue into the second year.

Some patients experience a temporary increase in symptoms early in recovery as the nerve regenerates. Knowing this in advance turns an alarming experience into an expected one.

A structured specialist review replaces guesswork with a mechanism — or rules our field out entirely.
