My left arm's numb after a shot? is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: This is unusual particularly depending on when this occurred after the shot and where the shot was delivered. I would definitely discuss it with your doctor as it is possible that it will get better with time but it also may signify a nerve injury.
