Nerve injury

I had serious nerve injury to my neck and shoulder a while back. I took 4 1/2 months before my shoulder was reinervated and I could move it. Has anyone else had a injury like this. I lost 80% of my muscle because of it. I just hope I can get my muscle back because it looks horrible.

Hey Gharvis -

Had something similar 3 years ago. How much you regain depends on the length of time the nerve was compressed and how severe the compression was. My neuro doc thinks my compression lasted several years and I've gotten most of mine back (with very hard work over the last three years).
