Yes, if it touched a nerve. Most nerve injuries from local injections should resolve in 30-60 days. Please report this condition to your doctor and have it put in your record in the rare event the injury does not resolve completely

Can numb hands be caused by diabetes?

Yes, hand and foot numbness can be a result of a complication of Diabetes mellitus, specifically neuropathy and arterial insufficiency. There can be other causes of hand numbness, however. Cervical disc disease and impinged nerves may cause hand or arm numbness. Also, scalene hypertrophy, thoracic outlet syndrome, ulnar tunnel syndrome, and carpal tunnel syndrome may cause various areas of the hands to develop numbness. Arterial injury and insufficiency not caused by diabetes mellitus may also cause numbness or paresthesias of the extremities. Autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma, infiltrating diseases such as amyloid and sarcoidosis, as well as tuberculosis can cause nerve injury which may result in altered sensory perception in the extremities. Brain tumors or strokes may also cause this.
