Default Pain & numbness inside of thumb after IV injection

26 days ago, an IV was placed in my right hand on top of my wrist by my thumb, when she inserted the needle excruciating pain, like electric shock feeling shot though my hand; she pulled back the needle and the pain stopped.

The inside of my thumb is continualy numb and throbbing, when I reach out to pick-up something I have very sharp stinging pain in my thumb. I had EMG test that came back normal, however the pain I'm having sure feels like it's a nerve problem. I'm not sure what to do at this point, any information would be very helpful.

Thank you,

Christine in Florida
