I would look on the Pubmed web site and you will see many studies that prove that.

Yes, it is painfully slow. Keep fighting. It will come back , maybe not 100%, but it will come back.
Thank again for your input. I had a electrical stimulation treatments at my PT this morning. No miracles (and weird feeling) but the PT said I do have some enervation in my deltoids which is a bit encouraging. He suggested getting my own machine and using it daily along with targeted exercises. Did you buy one and if so which one? There seem to be a million options on Amazon.
