PRP, microneedling & nerve damage? (Photo)

June 13, 2018
Asked By:Lesgoo in Hamilton, ON

I had PRP injected with a syringe followed by microneedling done. The microneedling depth was 0.5-1.5 according to the nurse who did the procedure. 3 days later I had sharp pain in my jaw/ear. then I felt dizzy for 1 week, ending up with an “inner ear infection”. I still have dizziness and numbness near the ear my left side. I get pain deep in my ear and a creepy sensation near my eye. Is it possible this was nerve damage from the procedure? I had a history shingles as well/ I had informed her.
