Members shared their varied experiences with nerve damage and brain injury treatment, with many describing surgeries and interventions that provided temporary or partial relief. Several members discussed alternative pain management approaches that helped them, including radiofrequency ablation, NEVRO pain blockers using ultra-high radio frequency, spinal cord stimulators, and medical cannabis products like creams and oils. A recurring theme was the reality that nerve damage often cannot be fully repaired, though some treatments can significantly reduce pain, and one member shared an inspiring story of a sister with brain injury who relearned essential skills and returned to normal functioning.

I've had ends of a couple of nerves belated at c-5/6. Really helped. To that point I had pain/spasms from between shoulder blades up to base of skull. Have had 3 lumbar fusions which caused severe pain n spasms down one leg. Would scream all night. In March had a NEVRO pain blocker implanted in low back. Not like a TENS UNIT which uses electric impulses. This uses ultra high radio frequency instead. 15 minutes after implant.....No more pain there. Research. NEVRO. HR-10 therapy. Developed here near Atlanta a year ago. Great and gaining popularity at pain clinics.

I was just diagnosed with radial neuropathy post surgery 3 months ago [had EMG] and I'd be interested in that answer as well. I have a spinal cord stimulator that has helped the pain from the damaged sciatic nerve, but the nerve wasn't repaired. Wishing you the best.
