Depending on your age, there can be up to 50% of sensation returned after surgery if you severed your median nerve. The nerve grows at 1mm per day so it will take months before you realize how much feeling you will have. That will be permanent.

Has the vein burst in your wrist?

The nerves that serve the body aren't particularly strong, and they can be injured or broken from too much stretching, pressure, or cutting. If the nerve is damaged through excessive stretching or pressure, it may stop working and no longer carry messages to and from the brain. The tissue surrounding the nerve, however, may be undamaged. If the nerve is cut, the nerve along with its covering may both be broken. In any injury, the nerve's ability to carry messages may be interrupted, and this can stop muscles from working or can cause loss of feeling in the part of the body served by that particular nerve. If a nerve fiber breaks, the end of the nerve that's farthest from the brain dies. If the insulation isn't damaged, it becomes an empty tube once the nerve completely dies. The end of the fiber closest to the brain will not die, however. In fact, it may even start healing on its own, possibly growing back through the uninjured tube until it reaches a muscle or a sensory receptor. If both the nerve and its surrounding tissue are cut and the nerve is not repaired, a condition known as a neuroma may result. In such cases, the nerve fibers try to grow back but because they don't have a good insulating tube in which to grow, they end up forming a ball at the site of the original cut. The neuroma that results can be painful and can even cause an electrical sensation when it's touched.
