Fingers weren't numb, middle of the forearm, palm up side, about a 5" patch, ice cold when it happened. the nurse freaked cause i was yelling and getting pissed when she did it. needle stayed still. she stated shed done this thousands of times never seen it before. Went to lift something today and it felt like rubber bands snapping inside my forearm. She put the needle near my funny bone, close to all the gunk. Who knows, still lifted with no problem after the pain went away. Can't understand why the pain would be 5"'s from the site. I'm guessing the nerves are playing tricks on me.
