What Causes Numbness And Tingling After An Animal Bite?
My cat scratched me very deeply on my left index finger several days ago and the first digit of that finger is still numb and tingly. Also, my left shoulder, bicep and triceps and my left trapezius is very sore. I m not sure if the soreness is due to the way I sleep or blood poising from the scratch but all the symptoms are on the left side. I have been using moist heat on the sore muscles and taking massive amounts of ibuprofen but the muscle soreness still exists. What should I do? I do not have health insurance. Thank you in advance. Stephen.

HI
Well come to HCM
If this is the history of skin lesion happened due to some animal nail (Cat) so this can not be taken as granted but this need to be brought for investigation and proper treatment, better to have a clinical examination this can not be taken as granted, hope this information helps, take care.
