If nerve damage is due to compression or other mechanical problems, it can be decompressed. It is unpredictable to what degree the damage is reversible.
Depends on the cause. If local, sometimes, if from diabetes, then need to control source. If from knee/back, have to address source.
Depends on how much damage and which nerves. If contusion only, there is a chance.
