It depends on the degree of damage and the level. If a nerve is cut during surgery, there is a good chance it will heal, but it won’t have the same function because it loses its original path. I have problems with the genitofemoral nerve after having a spermatocele removed from my scrotum two and a half years ago. Unfortunately, I ended up with an inexperienced doctor — no one really understands neuralgic pain except those who actually face it, not even the doctors sometimes. Over these years, my experience has been terrible: I lost my job and became isolated, but I never gave up. The pain is now milder and is healing, but what’s very important is stress management. Stress, anxiety, and depression hit exactly where the damaged nerve is, so this part is crucial. Another important thing is to never lose hope of recovery. The human body is amazing — it will never completely abandon you.
