See a doctor immediately.
If the failures of the health care providers were below the medical standard of care, and the delay caused by this caused or contributed to increased harm, there may be a case.

Likely you may have a claim. If you want you may call me to discuss. Understand that the cause is not a slam dunk--many things may cause an embolism. It's not a "fingerprint" occurrence, so rare that it almost proves itself.

I'm very sorry for your ordeal. This is something that a Mississippi attorney is best qualified to advise on, but your post remains open for four weeks.

I received an antibiotic shot and I have been experiencing soreness, stiffness in that area along with numbness in my leg. Could a nerve have been punctured?

If you consulted with a Mississippi med mal attorney, they would need additional information to form any kind of legal opinion. Attorneys generally review a claimant's file with the guidance of a doctor or other medical professional. Good luck

There wasn't a question, but if you're asking whether you have the grounds for a case, a Mississippi med mal attorney would likely ask for additional information or records. They would need further details. Good luck
