Dear Tanner, Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I just wanted to relay back what my physical therapist told me about whether or not muscles that have atrophied due to nerve damage can grow back or not. To be honest she was very optimistic that I will be able to grow them back but said that it will take time. I can't help but be a bit skeptical though since visiting your blog and hearing your story. Anyhow I have started physical therapy and I'm hoping for the best. I was told that it will take about a month or so to start seeing any improvement. I will keep you informed for sure. Regards, Abir

Abir,

Thanks for the update.

If I were you, I would be very optimistic (that may even help with your recovery).

Hopefully, your physical therapist knows what she’s talking about and has seen it many times before (the nerve coming back). After all, that is her business.

And besides, your story and mine are very different, with different types of nerve and muscle damage. You might have the “better” type.

I hope she is right.

Tanner
