A recent article in Scientific American talks about nerves regenerating. While long thought that nerves could not regenerate, research showing some nerves can regenerate, under very specific conditions. This will lead to further research to develop the scope of what is possible. Nerve regeneration research is in the very beginning stages. I found it most interesting. But it won't be applicable in our lifetimes.

@mrmacabre Thats what I was told. It will heal on its own or it won't heal at all. I think it's BS also. I think I'm going to try acupuncture. I've been trying everything else so I might as well give it a try.
