Nerve Injuries

Nerves are like bundles of electric wires that conduct signals from a part of your body to your brain. These signals (or information) relate to pain, pressure, and temperature (hot / cold) sensations. Nerve injuries can result from being smashed, stretched, torn, or cut. Depending on the severity and type of injury, nerve injury can be complete and irreversible, or they can heal completely. Generally, nerves are very slow to heal and may take up to a year to finally declare their final long-term function.
