A member asked:

Nurse hit a nerve while taking blood 3days later still feel shocks down to fingertips will this go away on its own or does it need addressed to a doc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should: It sounds as though a nerve was penetrated by overshot of the needle. This usually heals on its own but can cause long term damage or neuroma formation. If it persists or worsens see a hand and upper extremity specialist.
