Hello,

You probably missed your shot and injected it in a nearby nerve. Thats why you had these symptoms.

Ice injection can cause vein blockage, swelling of the limb due to abscess formation or due to local reaction.

Other side effects include high fever, euphoria as well. However, I can not rule out the possibility of infection at injection site. I suggest you to visit a local doctor for detailed checkup and antibiotic therapy if needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
