Thank you Doctor. i have some more doubts regarding this. Please excuse me if those are silly ones.
For me the pain in the injection area is now slightly spreading to the back and i'm feeling much strain in the leg while walking, Is that because of the nerve damage? i have consulted a neurologist(last month) and took the medicines for 10 days. But still because of the pain i called him up yesterday and asked what to do( since the doctor is from my native place and i'm staying at  chennai). He suggested me to take those medicines for 10 more days. Is there any test to  confirm the nreve damage? how long will it take to cure this damage?  Can physiotherapy cure this condition? Please respond to me as you did for my first query.
Thanking you

Hi,

How are you?
There is a possibility of nerve damage due the injection. Nothing can be said for sure without clinical examination.
I would suggest you to consult a neurologist as soon as you can. Meanwhile please continue to take your medications.
Take care!
