Pain after Phenergan injection

Hello. About 2 weeks ago I received a Phenergan injection for nausea and vomiting. Ihad severe pain, tingling, and numbness after injection. One week after injection was received I made a trip to the emergency room because of how bad the pain was. They gave me painkillers and told me to rest. That was one week ago. My pain is still getting worse and becoming unbearable. Emergency room doctors also said the shot was given in the wrong spot and that the nurse may have damaged nerves when given to me. But my pain just keeps getting worse. (Shot was given in lower back about 1 inches higher than where my pants would sit.)

Did this ever get resolved for you? I got a phenegan shot 5 weeks ago in the side of my hip and immediately told the nurse that he hit something, it felt so wrong and hurt so much, worse than any shot I've ever had. It's still not getting any better and after reading about this medicine I'm starting to get a little scared! And the shot was given directly in the side of my hip, when my arm hangs straight it lays directly over the injection site.
