You've Got a Nerve

By Alan Green

A serious cycling accident on an ordinary journey home marked the beginning of a long and uncertain road. What followed was not a straightforward recovery, but years of fluctuating neurological symptoms that affected every part of daily life - from work and family routines to sleep, identity, and confidence.

You've Got a Nerve is a deeply personal account of that experience. Written over several years, it documents the realities of living with long-term injury: the false starts, the progress

that doesn't stick, the frustration of appearing "fine" while struggling beneath the surface, and the emotional toll of a recovery that refuses to follow a neat timeline.

Alongside the physical impact of injury, the book explores the quieter consequences changes in personality, strain on relationships, financial pressure, and the challenge of maintainin hope while living with uncertainty. It also reflects on the wide range of treatments and approaches encountered along the way, presented honestly and without claims or instruction, as part of one individual's lived experience.

Underpinning the narrative is the constant presence of family, whose support and patience are woven through every stage of the journey.

This is not a medical guide or a story of dramatic transformation. It is an honest account of learning to live differently, to measure progress in small increments, and to keep going when improvement is slow and uneven. You've Got a Nerve will resonate with anyone living with long-term injury or illness, and with those seeking to better understand what recovery can

really look like.
