Nerve damage from injections can manifest in a variety of ways, primarily affecting motor and sensory functions.
Symptoms of Nerve Damage
Damage to nerves from injections can lead to a range of symptoms depending on whether motor or sensory nerves are affected. These symptoms, according to research, include:
- Muscle Weakness: Difficulty controlling or moving muscles.
- Painful Cramps: Involuntary and painful muscle contractions.
- Muscle Twitching: Uncontrolled, small muscle movements (fasciculations).
- Numbness: A loss of sensation in the affected area, such as hands or feet.
- Tingling: A prickling or "pins and needles" sensation, often in the hands or feet.
Sensory Nerve Damage
Sensory nerve damage is characterized by altered sensations. Because sensory nerves relay information about:
- Touch
- Temperature
- Pain
You may experience:
- Numbness or Tingling in the hands or feet.
