Urtica ferox....Some major stings in hand, many small stings inner forearm. Very sharp sting in palm of hand for about 10 seconds, far worse then bee or wasp sting. Strange nerve pain from tip of fingers to upper arm in day 2. Day 3, pain up to ear,
dermatitis on inner arm, arm partial paralyzed for 2 days. Day 4, hand very painful, can not grip, slight hit to hand causes severe pain. Skin very tender,
as if you have fever but much worse, pain up in the scalp to center of head. Eye ache, ear ache,
head ache, weirdest was tooth aches, on and off for 2 days. Dull nerve pain for
6 weeks, enough to affect sleep greatly, hurt throughout the day from finger tips to center of chest down to my waist. From day 3, 2 fingers went completely
numb, numbness
subsided over the next 8 weeks. Itching started about 4th week, subsided over 8
weeks, tried Prednisone, Cortisone cream, Benadryl, Lidocaine cream, did little, Cymbalta helped a little.
