Infrared therapy, often used for pain relief and inflammation reduction, may aid in the healing process after nerve damage, but it is not a guaranteed solution. Some studies suggest that infrared light can promote tissue repair and enhance circulation, potentially benefiting nerve regeneration. However, more research is needed to establish its effectiveness specifically for nerve damage. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options.

Is there a Finger surgery for nerve damage from an injury where the nerve was cut on the outside of left index finger?

I had surgery to repair a nerve on my right index finger 12/01/10. I am still not able to use my finger and it is 12/24/10. I have to wait for the sutures to dissolve. The Dr said it may take another week or two still. It has been a rather painful process but I do have feeling in my finger again. Also the surgery I was told isn't always effective. Talk to a hand Surgeon and see if you are a candidate. Just be prepared for a long recovery. Good luck!
