Hi Physwa,

I had a peripheral nerve repair done by a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who did fellowships in both microsurgery and peripheral nerve. My doctor trained at Washington U with Dr. Susan Mackinnon. I personally had a good outcome. A traumatic neuroma was found and repaired. It isn't perfect but the injury was complicated. However, in my case, I got a lot of relief.

These specialists are difficult to find but I located two in my state by digging through the bios of plastic surgeons at academic institutions. You might also contact Washington U's peripheral nerve training program to find out what fellows they may have near you.

Best of luck to you no matter what you decide. I hope you find relief soon!
