there is ALWAYS the possibility of nerve damage when having an extraction of the lower molars. it could lead to numbness that goes away after time or never goes away. its rare but they drs have to always let you know about this. discuss this with him and possibly get another opinion.

I don't think there would be any other problems except maybe a dry socket which is something that can not be anticipated.
