Hi CC and welcome to the forum.
As we say - welcome to the other side. And to answer your question, yes, it is possible for nerves to heal but it can take quite a long time. You're only two months out of surgery and to suggest too much is premature.
By all means, listen to the restrictions byour doctor places on your healing. Also, if it hurts, don't do it.
However, when the time is right, if you're still dissatisfied with your pain, numbness after about 6 months, I would suggest acupuncture. My surgery caused a lot of nerve damage and I didn't seek this help until 18 months post op but it was the only thing that helped - alot. I was told he could have done much more if he got me at 6 months. As with all health care practitioners, quality counts.
Also, the B vitamins are beneficial to nerves. I'd go with a soluable kind.
Good luck and keep us posted, Dale
