Anyone go to a Mayo Clinic for neuropathy?

I was told that nerve fiber does not grow back in our lifetime. On the other hand, I read, on the Internet of course, that there are at least 100 causes of SFN and that if the underlying issue is resolved, then SFN will clear up in about 50% of the cases. It's beginning to look like there is no cure as no one has reported one on this site.

Hi @jager5210, here's an article from back in 2010 that does a good job of explaining the process for nerves to grow back but I haven't read of any success of it actually happening in a patient. I have no medical training or background but believe they can come back in cases of compressed nerves or surgery if the damaged is repaired. I don't think there is much hope if the nerve is dead but would sure love to hear from anyone who knows of success.
