I had 4 or 5 shots and it was very painful. I used ice with a cold washcloth and a pain reliever. My doctor felt badly when I called his clinic the next day because he had forgotten to tell me how painful it would be when the numbing wore off. I hope you're feeling better soon.

I'm sorry, I thought of that later. It was better in a few day. I kept icing it and OTC pain reliever. I hope you are feeling better by now. I'm thinking that if a nerve was nicked you would experience more pain and possibly longer. It really hurt a lot. Just rest it, that is key too. My husband had to remind me to not use it for a few days.
Hope this helps.
