Not really: Though there could have been some underlying nerve damage at this area to begin with, the local anesthetic agent should have resolved by now. Consult the physician who put this block in and ask what you should do now.

It can be: Usually this will resolve once the irritation of the nerve improves. If you are net better after about 7-10 days then consider speaking with the doctor about your concerns.
