How long does it take to recover from a nerve block?
I am a 28 year old male. I want to know how long does it take to recover from a nerve block?

Anywhere from 12-18 hours.
It varies widely, all the details are required to give an accurate estimate. Normally it would last 12-18 hours, but long-acting (liposomal) local anesthetics can last 72 hours.

Usually anywhere from 12-24 hours, depending on how fast your body metabolizes the medicine.
