how hard is it to hit sciatic nerve?

[jegg21]

First, mentally divide one "cheek" into four equal parts. Use the upper outer quadrant for dorsogluteal injections. Yes, at the top of the buttock the sciatic nerve is close to "the crack," but is located wider in lower parts of the glute. It's not easy to hit in the outer upper quadrant, but not altogether impossible. More likely, you may hit the Superior Gluteal Artery, which is not pleasant, and potentially very hazardous, though, due to the smaller diameter of the artery in the region, the outer upper is still your best best. Another thing to consider is the fact that adipose tissue is unpredictable and often varying in this region, making it harder to get an IM injection, vs. the ventrogluteal (hip) site, where adipose tissue is much more thin and consistent. The risk of dosroglute is that of a subcutaneos injection, instead of the preferred deep IM inject. Still, Test can be painful, and ventrogluteal Test injections can leave you with difficulty walking and the like.

i've never injected glutes.

for some reason i'd rather start hitting calves, pecs or lats before swinging into my ass.

i'll stick to quads, delts and bis.

i only hit glutes and accationally quads, i've never hit a nerve so i would imagine it s pretty unlikely yau hit it, like they said stay on the upper outer portion of the glute

Yup, you shouldnt have a problem at all. So far glutes is all ive hit, and never had a problem doing my own. Aim high and outside, aspirate, and you should be good to go. Im gonna have to hit quads on this next one though, eod shots, i cant keep packin everything in there. Little nervous about venturing down to the quads, but Id imagine its easier then reachin back there for the glute. Just nervous about these leg twitches and nerves that are all over.

while that is a GREAT general guideline i still prefer to ask members with years of real experience

 

[Crysis6]

Agreed. Thats fine to give you a basic idea, but there are still a few things you can only pickup from people who have been there, and from the first time you see some blood shoot 4 feet out of your body onto the floor. lol

never done a glute shot and doing one tonight...if your in the right quadrant can you come anywhere close to it....just looking for some info on how dumb you have to be to mess this up?

Ive been doing this 15+yrs and never hit the nerve.
