That’s a complicated question with no simple answer. It depends on the nerve and the extent of the damage. Consult a hand surgeon to understand your options.

In most cases yes, but this really depends upon the nerve that is "damaged," the location on the arm, how long ago the injury occurred and the nature of the injury. You really need to consult a hand surgeon for a proper evaluation.
