Hello,
Silver nitrate may not cause weakness unless it is injected into directly on the nerve or spinal cord.
Do present weakness may be due to hypokalemia or hypocalcemia or Gillian barre syndrome etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get it done serum electrolytes, MRI spine and ECG.
Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
