Basically, all pain relievers are processed through the liver. The symptoms you describe are exactly those that accompany the nerve damage. The longer you wait, the less chance you will have at a successful reconstruction as the nerve fibers themselves regress and eventually, there are no fibers left to reconnect. So, the sooner the better.

yes the doc told me he might have to do a nerve graght or something like that. is that how they fix it? you have been really helpful and i am thankfull for everything im glad i ran into you on here. If they cant restore the nerve can they atleast fix it so it does not hurt anymore? and today i switched to vicoprofin instead of vicodin, thats better for my liver correct? Thanks agn
The nerves immediately start to atrophy both backwards and forwards. The disconnect causes the fibers to lose their integrity and undergo 'wallerian degeneration". The key is that the surrounding sheath and support fibers also regress, providing no track to regrow the nerves to the final destination. So, one should get the surgery done within months .

What is the average time it takes for nerve fibers to fully regress? And thank you so much for getting back to me i appreciate it.
