Hi, I have a question. I know that nerves will regrow at the rate at 1/2

inch per month, until they hit scar tissue. Then they stop the growth.

Period. This is what my husbands neurologist told us, and what we have seen

with

Don's back/legs. His sciatic nerve was mangled in a fall, along with many

others evidently, (dr's choice of words) and the neurological pain is hideous.

We

have been working with this since 4-11-85. I wish I had really good news to

report, it is a tough road to hoe. I have printed this out, will take it to

his pain doctor and see what he thinks. I will say this, any slight chance is

better than no chance. Thanks for the post. Hugs, marilyn

Hi Duncan, thanks, I know things are new and discovered regularly, and it
