Hand is still numb 9 hours after local anesthesia shot?!


Question: Hand is still numb 9 hours after local anesthesia shot!?
I went to the dermatologist this morning to have a mole removed on my hand and a cyst removed on my neck!. He gave me a shot in my hand and neck to numb the areas!. Several hours later I regained sensation in my neck, but not my hand!. 9 hours later and my hand is just as numb as it was this morning at the office!. Is it possible that I will never regain feeling again!? I called the office and they said to call tomorrow morning if I still don't have feeling!. I am not extra sensitive to the anesthesia because my neck is fine now!. Anyone ever heard of this!? I can't find any info on the internet about this happening to anyone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Two questions - Do you have poor circulation in your extremities!? (You'll know if you have cold hands/feet, or have heart problems or diabetes!.)
And, are you able to look up the drug's product information!? (This may be a side-effect, but the fact that your body has cleaned out the anesthetic in your neck suggests that this is not that kind of drug reaction!.)

Call your doctor and find out what the anesthetic's name is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
