Nerve damage.: Any injury can damage the nerves, especially the superficial ones near the top of the skin. This can last up to 9 months and then resolve. Sometimes it is permanent. If you have weakness of the muscles, too, it is always a good idea to get seen in person, so a more accurate answer can be given,
