[|Human|] a pin pricking feeling on my right side..just above the thigh where i was given a painkiller injection two weeks back. i was hospitalised for kidney stone and was on antibiotics till last sunday. This pricking started on tuesday. i was afraid it may be an abscess so started antibiotics on friday again. today is the third day of that but pricking feeling not gone. what could it be?
[|AI|]  Intramuscular injection may sometimes lead to nerve damage. Generally there will be loss of sensation/ numbness in the area supplied by particular nerve. This pin pricking sensation could be sign of neuronal regeneration. Abscess will have symptoms like fever, pain, swelling and redness in that area. If you have these symptoms you should consult surgeon as may need Chat Doctor.  Hopefully it should subside within a week if its secondary to mild nerve damage.
