Numb Right Leg. Taken Injection In Groin For Suspected Pinched Nerve. Normal For This Injection?

I had an injection in my groin earlier today for a suspected pinched nerve that causes tremendous pain when it flares up. (Ultrasound revealed no hernia, which was initially suspected.) My whole right leg has gone totally numb and I have fallen down several times. Would this be normal for this type of injection? My doctor did not mention it.
