A member asked:
My 23 months old baby, was injected on the buttocks and 5 week now is experiencing pain at the toes, numbness of the feet and coldness at the feet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Buttock: Injections are given in the upper-outer quadrant of the buttocks in order to avoid injury to the sciatic nerve. I assume this is where the injection was given. But we doctors don't have x-ray vision (yet), and not all sciatic nerves follow the anatomy book, so it's possible, on rare occasions, to injure the sciatic nerve even if the injection is given properly.
