Question : During a blood test as part of health checkup, while getting injected, felt a sharp tingling sensation in the right forearm. Next day also felt that sometimes while lifting something. I'm worried if this could cause permanent nerve damage.

Need not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

No, that could not be permanent nerve damage. A mild prick to the nerve fiber cal lead to such a sensation. This does take time to heal. It may heal by 2 to 3 days without any complications.

Take multivitamin supplements to fasten the process.
