Is there anything that can be done for dead muscle?

What have you already done? If you haven't explored many options with your physiotherapist that could be worth your while. Progressive numbness might indicate an emergency and should send you to urgent or emergent care. PRP is an emerging area of research. It would be worth talking to a neurologist and a doctor who practices PRP injection. Ask both for their opinions on it. If you are willing to, please feel free to share your story as you progress.
We can't give medical advice, as noted by u/tipping and telling you what to research is dangerously close to that. It isn't that we don't want to discuss it, but rather that there are legal implications for doing so online without assessing you individually. If you don't trust your physio or MD then find another opinion. If you do, ask for other options. Ask about typical timelines for recovery. Ask about what you could read or research. Physios in particular should be working with you as a team.

I've done tens and laser modalities. I don't like tens but the lasers seem to help and I am looking into buying my own. A neurologist found no issue in ulnar but my physiotherapist says often if its mild and distributed along the nerve, as he suspects mine is, then it might not be troubling enough for the EMG to detect.
I understand the reasoning. I don't even know what's wrong with my arm and it bothers me to no end. I understand that discussing the issue I a procedural sense is bad, but this is also an knowledgeable sub, so I figured some folks would be able to at least help me understand what I can do to improve things set that cellular level.
I'm open to everything: supplements, new training techniques, stem cells, etc. I need the knowledge first though

I'm sorry that you've been downvoted without an answer but unfortunately no one here can tell you what to do. The only rule here is that you can not seek medical advice. Good luck
I don't want advice for action. What should I research? I wanna know what options exist for me to explore and wanna better understand how to increase myoblasts. I just want some leads for my own learning journey
