abba55; I have had NA 5 times and on each occasion while the procedure itself was painful I have had very little residual pain and cannot understand why there would be lasting pain unless you have an infection. If you have pain weeks after NA it seems likely to me that something else is going on and you should get a doctor to look at it.

I should qualify my comments to say that if the pain you are getting is like an electric shock then that is an indication of nerve damage and that may take months to resolve. If this is the case there is not much you can do other than to avoid the movement that causes the shock.

Hello all,
This is my very first time using a forum, I came to this forum because I need to know if I am the only one who has sharp pains like a cleaver wedged into the palm of my hands, I also have itchcy palms and have difficulty scratching because of the tenderness. I have had already 2 surgeries on my left hand and another upcoming surgery in my right hand this Feb. Thank you so much for sharing your stories I thought I was the only one with this condition.

Temporary soreness for a few days is not unusual, nor typical.
Severe, or prolonged pain is unusual and deserves follow-up
by the Dr. Get an evaluation; and a diagnosis. Get a second
opinion if necessary. GL.
