[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a word of caution - shots in the buttock are not recommended anymore, because of the risk of hitting your sciatic nerve.[/quote] When did they change the recommendation? I was told to do it in the buttock just a couple of months ago. [/quote] ... my nurse was just suggesting- 4 days ago?- that was a possibility.Who is to say that someoen else wouldn't hit you in the sciatic nerve? If you can you get the nurse to draw a mark on where you should give the shot, why does it matter (other than how much it sucks to give yourself a shot) who gives it? (genuine question)[/quote] PP here: the recommendation is relatively new...many nurses who were taught the old way dont know about the new evidence. The nurse could definitely hit your sciatic nerve herself as well, that's why they suggest shots in the thigh area instead ( whether self-administered or administered by the nurse).[/quote]
