I was pinning my left glute two days ago with my 1.5" 23g barrel. I stuck it in the usual glute inj. spot and aspirated it, about 1/3 of the way through injecting the test my ass cheek began twitching like none other, it didn't hurt but I freaked out. I think the neddle may have moved and struck a nerve when I started pushing on the plunger. Anyway, I quickly pulled it out, replaced the needle and pinned a couple inches away from that spot. Same thing, as I started injecting the glute began twitching again repeatedly, I didn't know what the hell was going on and stupidly decided to just get it over with and finish the injection.
Since then I've had no swelling or fever at the injection site, but my left glute is massively sore, worse than any previous time. I've used the same juice before and it was painless, so I believe I may have irritated or damaged the nerve I hit and its giving me hell. Luckily the twitching went away about 30 min after I finished the injection.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any insight into what happened, and what should I do if it ever does this again? If it ever happens again (praying it doesn't) I think I'll switch needles and go in a different muscle. Thoughts?
