I recently had a strange experience. I fell asleep at my computer, upon
awakening I found my right hand to be asleep, or so I thought. After
several minutes I realized the blood circulation was not bringing my hand
back to life. I went to see a Neurologist and he said I suffered a pinched
nerve. However, he has yet to inform me on exactly how long my hand will
be inoperative. My hand hangs limp from the wrist and I have very little
control of my fingers. I have been seeing a muscle therapyst, visiting
him 3 days a week. But still very little improvement. It is closing in on
six weeks since the injury took place. Still no information on how long
this will go on.
Could you tell me how long a pinched nerve normally takes to heal?
