You are on meds given for nerve damage, unknown cause of pain, and the meds are working? That's kind of telling, isn't it.

Fortunately nerves can regenerate, rate of recovery is dependent on the cause of the damage and if there are still some ungoing factors. Many variables including age, general health etc. are involved. Sometimes only time will tell. My case- I was told it would take years for the axons to repair to regain strength and function in my legs and my foot will most likely remain unchanged.
