It is very difficult to answer your question. The way you mean is :hurt" which it can be back to normal after the hurting is over. If the nerve is damaged(dead), then there is no chance to recover or heal especially the nervous cell center(brain and spinal cord) is damaged. That why when people has stroke and damage the brain, there is a very slim chance for people to recover if there are major brain cells damage.
The medicine we are using on nervous hurting/damage people and animal is very few. The most common one is steroid which is using to reduce the swollen of nerve when it gets hurt /damaged. The re-grow of nervous fiber is very slow, so we really can't expect how long the treatment and waiting time required. We had a spinal surgery dog took about 6 weeks after surgery before he could stand up and start to walk.
