General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Good day and thank you for posting this question. No, it can't cause paralysis. Most times we all have different reactions to injection at the buttocks, for some the feeling goes away immediately but for others like you the feeling keep on coming. It's more of a psychological thing. If you still having pain, kindly take Acetaminophen. But if you notice any other thing like limping or loss of muscle mass, kindly visit your doctor. I hope it helps.
Thank you.
