Sensation: You had an ingrown toenail and the local anesthetic worked well. 2 weeks later it still feels numb. Chech this for sensation. If you can feel hot and cold. Hard and soft etc then it is most likely fine. The nerve block usually wears off the same day. The pain and theobbing are the most common complaints. Keep the area clean and dry. Make sure the toe has full range of motion no redness.

It might: Sometimes the injection can hit the nerve and cause some injury. Usually, it is temporary but can take weeks or months to heal.Rarely, are the changes permanent. Talk to your doctor about this.
