I have a damaged RH phrenic nerve. Is it possible to find out where it is damaged and repair it?

I had significant post-operative pulmonary embolisms across both lungs two years ago and now suffer from right hand diaphragm palsy due to damage to the right hand phrenic nerve. I was told that this damage was 'probably' caused by post PE scarring at the base of the lung. Is this possible or could the nerve be damaged elsewhere? Is it possible to determine the site of the damage and effect a lasting repair? I am fine walking on level ground, but I struggle uphill, and cannot walk and talk at the same time.
