And I ask, but when they regenerate does it means that the pain (pharestesia) also go away? That is my great doubt and fear...
For intances you wait 20 years for your nerves to regrow after the cirugy

Filipe, the surgery I had was EXTENSIVE with cutting the whole top of my foot, and digging around the tendons to get the roots of the tumor. You cannot compare that injury to yours. However, it does illustrate that the nerves regrew with time, after all that trauma. That is why I use this example, because as extreme as it is, it illustrates that peripheral nerves grow back. Yours are not SEVERED...just giving confusing signals.
So they may be faster in returning to normal.
I think at this point you should look at topical application of medications and use ICE treatments to calm the nerves down.
I'd apply ICE to your back/shoulder area for 20 minutes twice a day. Do not apply to bare skin. Use an ice pack covered with a towel of some kind or cloth.
Patches include Salonpas (no RX required) or Lidoderm (from a doctor).
You do not say what you are doing for your injury. What are you taking now.. supplements and medicines? Do things like ibuprofen or naproxen help? If so that points to inflammation being present.
