Odd: It is possible. Shot should be in upper outer quarter of bottocks. I would see your doctor.

See your doctor: Obviously if the bullet pierced the muscle around the sciatic nerve its swollen and irritated and then results in irritating the sciatic nerve. See your doctor or a spine specialist to discuss further.
