hi, i'm sending this message on behalf of a friend of mine. This friend had a eye surgery a couple years back due to some eye problems which were caused by her thyroid gland. Apperently there was a lot of pressure on her eyes and the operation was scheduled to relieve her from this stress. The operation wasnt a complete succes, as some of the nerves in her face were damaged as a result of this operation. Now she's in pain pretty much every day. Since we're both from the Netherlands, this operation took place in the Netherlands. The surgeon who performed the surgery on my friend explained to her, that there's nothing that can be done about those damaged nerves because nerves simply dont heal. Now, my question is... Is this true? Is there absolutly nothing that can be done about a damaged nerved? I understand that this question might be hard to answer since you lack alot of medical details, but any help would be welcome. I dont completly trust this surgeon and would like to hear a opinion from someobody from another country since we might lack some technology or knowledge which might be available in other country's.

Hope to get a response soon!

Thanks,

Richard.
