Sciatic Nerve Question
ad
I've been pinning my delts and quads. So far so good, but been thinking about pinning glutes. This may sound silly, but kinda nervous about hitting a sciatic nerve.
So my question is if anyone has hit a sciatic nerve while pinning glutes? If so, how common is it to hit a sciatic nerve? Maybe I'm overthinking it, but just want to be safer than not and ask the experienced members so to cover all bases.
Thanks!

know where you are pinning and the safest place to inject. As long as you have a general understanding of where the danger zones are and are clear from them, you should be good. i have never heard of anyone hitting a sciatic nerve from injecting into glutes. do some research and gain knowledge of injections. keep the area clean, use a new needle, aspirate, right size needle and you will be good to go.
Thanks guys, answered my question. I guess i was stressing over nothing.
Don't be wreckless about it. But don't be paranoid either.
It would be smart to google some anatomy charts of the sciatic nerve so you have an idea where it is. It runs down the middle of the butt cheek, so as long as you are pinning the outer upper area you will not run into it.
Yea, its odd, i had no concerns or issues pinning quads or delts, but in my head thinking glutes may be an issue bc of sciatic nerves.
Thanks. Outer upper area...gotcha.
