HELP! Scorpion sting and chronic lasting effects???

[PrincessOfQuiteAlot]

Thank you.

I’m definitely leaning towards nerve damage. But, will definitely look into seeing a physician that specializes in stings.

And, agreed it is too late go know exactly what type of scorpion, but I’m hoping that a specialist in this area knows what more than likely I stepped on & can give feedback on that and work through my symptoms and if they’ve ever heard of anything similar happening over a long period of time.

I will definitely update this thread if I learn anything that makes sense & can maybe help others.

Normally symptoms of scorpion stings disappear after a few days, some species venom can take a bit more than 1 week.
There are many types of scorpion venom, every genus or even species have their own mix.
May i suggest you seek advice from a doctor that is specialized in scorpion venom/toxins.
I don't think the average doc will do, he/she will just recommend amputating it if you can't bear anymore.
Scorpion venom is a special subject, please read some if you are interested;

Catching and determining the specimen that stung you would be of great help to narrow things down, but this advice is far too late unfortunately.
Doctors/specialists can diagnose things easier if the symptoms are present, it gets harder if they need to diagnose just from 'sensations of the past'.
Take care and good luck.
