Symptoms may include pain that affects the area around the nerve, weakness, numbness and a tingling sensation. Areas of the body that are commonly affected by pinched nerves include the wrist, elbow, neck, back, and ankle. Nerves tend to heal slowly. The nerves heal from the top down, and depending on how much damage is done at the time the nerve becomes impinged (pinched), it may take weeks to months for the nerve to fully to heal. Treatment of neural impingement is directed at relieving the pain and then allowing the nerve to heal on its own.
Many of these injuries are stretch injuries. The nerve sheath is intact and some degree of recovery can be seen. What was injured was the frontal branch of the right facial nerve. Where your nerve was injured the nerve fibers are actually very fine. It is probably amazing that we do not see more of these injuries. I would say that after about 6 months it is unlikely that recovery will take place.
