The dm book describes DR as instintaly healing a wound not made by the proper material, but waht if the wound is blocked by the weapon. Eg: a were wolf is attacking a farm stead it bursts throuigh the wooden shutters only to be imapled on a spear by a bard (who had redied the weapon), also he is shot by a dwarf cleric with a crossbow. Both the bolt and the spear and the bolt do damage but can the werewolf actully regenerate the wound with the weapons stuck in?

And not every piercing weapon that does damage is actually going to stick in the wound. I would say that the regenerating flesh just pushes the arrow out as it regrows.

Think of it as sealing the wound to stop the bleeding (like super scabs) or the body forcing out the crossbow bolt. Only way to override DR is with the right item (silver, cold iron, etc) and fast healing is something supernatural that cant be stopped by normal means.

They definitely do heal, but it's up to you to decide exactly how the physics work. You could even have embedded bolts seared off at the base by the creature's flesh.
