HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that there is minor nerve damage in the injected area which is not uncommon. Once it is minor it should heal within at least a few weeks.
If the damage is more severe, it can take longer or would not occur at all. This is not likely.
Your doctor can assess nerve function to the lower body for you.
I hope this helps
