Possibly: Nerve injury can occur, and it is one of the known risk in doing any injection, but it is usually limited (several weeks) and will get better. If you use chronic pain medications, you can become hypersensitive and the pain will take longer to subside.

Call your physician: Yes it could be nerve irritation but also infection, bleeding etc. The physician who did the procedure must be notified asap.
