So I am done at PT, get in the car and feel like I am suffocating, I start choking to the point of tears running down my face, turning red like a fire truck and can't breath!!! All of a sudden I feel this strange burning, tingling run across my back and into my left arm (untreated hand/arm) and now am in serious pain in that arm.

I asked the nurse after the shot if they did something different, she said no, "you may experience different side effects with each block" I said it felt like the medicine was injected, shooting up into my shoulder, back area. She assured me it was in the exact spot it was on Monday. So I figured since my neck was still tender from the 1st shot that maybe it was just me.....now, I am not so sure it was just me. After the experience I had.......oh and my ear and chin were numb for the entire day, whereas that never happened with the 1st shot....

Anybody ever experience anything like this before? is this "normal"?
