    Theyy might have injured the nerve.

    Mine started off with the nerve pain.

    Sounds like you will need another injection.

    Hope it subsides soon. Best Wishes

      So sorry you are going through this.

      I hope it settles down.

      Did they not suggest another shot?

      Unfortunately I can relate.

      I had my shot yesterday, and pain woke me up in the middle of the night.

      It was my first night sleeping with the splint too.

      They don't prepare us for what can happen.

      Hope you have Netflix :-)
