Hello Faisal, treatment depends on several factors including the severity of the injury, the type of injury, the length of time since the injury, and other existing conditions. And since you have mentioned it's been 10 years, so the reason is nerve tissue grows slowly, so it can take several years to know the full benefit of surgery.

 

Further, there are various surgeries we have mentioned below:

Nerve graft: In this procedure, the damaged part of the brachial plexus is removed and replaced with sections of nerves harvested from other parts of your body. This helps restore your arm's function.

Nerve transfer: When the nerve root has been torn from the spinal cord, surgeons often take a less important nerve that's still working and connect it to a nerve that's more important but not working.

Muscle transfer: Muscle transfer is a procedure in which your surgeon removes a less important muscle or tendon from another part of your body, typically the thigh, transfers it to your arm, and reconnects the nerves and blood vessels supplying the muscle.

Hope this answer helps you.

Regarding some medicine .... I m having osteoarthritis

Female | 49

Osteoarthritis is a condition that can cause pain and stiffness in your joints. The tissues that cushion your joints wear away, leading to this problem. Sometimes it may be due to old age, an injury, or obesity. You can do low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming to relieve the pain. Alternatively, apply ice packs or use heating pads on the affected area. Furthermore, purchasing footwear with proper arch support may also alleviate discomfort.

Neck pain from last 10 days. Burning pain on upper cervical spine. Pins and needles in left hand and left foot.

Female | 38

When you mention neck pain for the last 10 days, do you mean a burning sensation in the upper part of your neck? Also, have you felt pins and needles in your left hand and foot? These could be signs of a nerve problem due to the alignment of your neck bones. A medical professional should scan this area to find the exact cause and prescribe the proper treatment, which may include physical therapy or medication if necessary.

Minor fracture in spinal cord everything is fine leg is alos working can I will be okhy

Female | 19

It's good that your leg is still functioning well—that’s a good sign! You might feel symptoms like pain, numbness, or tingling. The most common causes are accidents or falls. The usual treatment involves rest, possibly wearing a brace and physical therapy. With proper care and rest, you'll likely recover well. Make sure to follow your doctor’s advice.
