Symptoms of sciatic nerve damage after im injection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: This would not be common. The sciatic nerve is a very deep structure and injury from im injection would be difficult unless the patient is very thin. The location if im injection in the gluteus is often in the upper outer region well away from the nerve.
