Default iv problems

i have had lots of ivs, lots of procedures, and i have never had a problem with an iv. well let me rephrase that i am a horrible stick because i have had so many ivs. however a few weeks ago i had a an iv the nurse stuck me in my wrist and basically went digging for a vein she never managed to find. problem is she hit my nerve and of course caused a flare but more important than the pain that thanks to meds i can deal with, my hand now feels like it is continuously in that random uncomfortable sleepy tingling thing. i now have to have sgb blocks once a week (now an anesthesioligist has to stick me). i was just wondering if anyone has ever had an iv mess up a nerve and have the numbness tingling thing and if so did it resolve? just curious because tomorrow i have another one and havent seen much improvement
