Seek immediate consultation if you notice:

• Progressive weakness in arms or legs

• Persistent numbness or tingling

• Severe nerve pain that is not relieved by medication

• Difficulty performing daily activities

• Loss of bladder or bowel control after injury

• Symptoms following an accident or surgery

Early treatment significantly increases the chances of recovery and nerve regeneration.

 Do’s:

• Attend all follow-up visits with your surgeon

• Do recommended physiotherapy exercises to strengthen muscles

• Protect the operated limb from further injury

• Maintain reasonable blood sugar control if diabetic

• Report new or worsening symptoms immediately

 Don’ts:

• Don’t lift heavy weights until cleared by your doctor

• Don’t skip prescribed rehabilitation sessions

• Avoid smoking or alcohol, as they delay nerve healing

• Don’t ignore persistent numbness or weakness

 Recovery & Outlook
Recovery depends on the type of injury and the timing of surgery.
Patients often notice improvement in pain and sensation within weeks.
Motor recovery (movement) may take several months to a year, as nerve regeneration is slow.
Early intervention gives the best results.
With rehabilitation, many patients regain significant function and quality of life.
 India offers high-quality care at affordable costs, making it a preferred destination for international patients.
