I was getting blood drawn with one of those baby butterfly needles and the guy drawing my blood went a little too far and hit a nerve. Nerves and veins were popping out of my arm near the wrist area and I was in pain. He quickly removed the needle and only a stinging sensation remained.
Anyone ever have this happen to them? There isn't any pain in the arm, but whenever I go to reach for something or extend my arm, there is a pinching feeling near the sight where the nerves popped out of my arm. And if I touch the area (inner elbow) where the needle went in, the same feeling arises but to a greater degree. It's my right arm and I'm primarily right handed.
Will this go away? I've read it may take a few weeks for the nerves to restore themselves, but it doesn't seem like something that will correct itself.
