That's not true that nerve damage rarely get better. It deppends on the nature of the damage. As an example I have had jaw surgery. After jaw surgery it is completely normal to be completely numb around all lips and gums for up to 1 to 6 months postoperatively. This is just due to the bruising of the nerves caused by moving them around during surgery. After numbness you get pins and needles, and slowly this normalizes as well.
Worst case scenario is a sensory nerve was transacted when they were doing the osteotomy. But if it was fully transected you'd I'd expect be completely numb. For anything less than a full transection or ongoing impingement, I doubt anyone would do anything surgical. But that's between you and your team. Again. I wouldn't freak out if I was you. But that's your prerogative.
FINALLY FIXING MY LEFT LEG WITH DR. MONEGAL IN BARCELONA- JULY 2,2015
if a nerve was transacted
would i experience pain// loss of movement of toes?
really have no pain and all toes move normally
What's the exact distribution of your numbness? Where does it start and finish? Are these areas completely numb or can you feel deep pressure/pain/hot/cold at all?
Regardless of the cause just be glad it's not causing neuropathic pain. That's a hell you don't want to know.

ITS around lower leg to feet... no pain
i can movies toes and feel sensation in feet, but feels like its half asleep
they did a sciatic block thursday night,and i think another block... they said can last 48 hours but 48 hours is a while
Quote from: musicmaker on July 04, 2015, 11:02:17 AMHi Crinsom! Dont freak out! Everything is perfectly ok! Trust me. I've already told you: That sensation is normal for the first few dYs because of medical reasons that I'm not able to explain since i lack the Vocabulary and knowledge. I will be there soon to reassure you, but please keep relaxed.
People of the forum, I've passed some hours with Crinsom al hospital and i can tell you he's perfectly ok. He's just worried because of being alone in a foreign country and having so much time to think! ;
But Dont worry. Musicmaker will be there to give Crinsom conversation. 
i hopeee
Yeah just relax man that doesn't sound like a problem at all.
Musicmaker do you work for Dr. Monegal's team and if so what's your position?
Ty guys
I saw dr monegal and did s few tests
Poked me with needle et. And I definitely felt it
Basically what maximize said. Not s big deal and is due to excess fluid etc
He's sure it will resolve soon and also due to sciatic nerve block
Music maker is not a member of the team. I know sometimes she sounds like me but she isn't. She's just a patient
Barcelona is beautiful btw and the hospital is modern
I'm already walking but on crutches of course
Day 3 now
Started a little cortisone and cryotherapy. And can say my foot feels almost normal now
Much much better. So very happy about this
Saw my ex Ray and it looks very good. My leg is completely straight and he even did a bit of bone grafting. The nail looks very good. The fibula was cut and looks good too. Fibula was causing valgus So I'm guessing will heal ok now
Very little to no pain and already can extend knee 90- 100 degrees
Comparing this to externals is really no comparison. I know I broke one leg now not two but from the first day wearing externals my sleep Was disturbed. I could not sleep well the entire time I had externals on
My sleeping right now is fine
I can't go back in time and am lucky everything turned out okay but my advice would be to do only internals and maybe Lon.
I could never recommend external. After going through what I went through and seeing other patients wear fixatives for up to a year
Even if the dr is a top dr I just think externals are old outdated technology not suitable for cosmetic ll
That are very good news my friend. Finally everything is going well 
Hi crisom.
I am happy that your surgery go so well.
Cheers, paco.
