Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was given two shots to my right gluteus maximus and one to my left gluteus maximus two weeks ago for my migraines and since last week I have been getting sharp pains when I sit down or if I touch my side.. what’s the cause for the sharp pains if I got the injection two weeks ago?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It’s quite common after intramuscular injection and will subside by itself. You can take analgesics, like Paracetamol or Ibuprofen for pain. Apply hot compresses. If symptoms persists, then consult a nearby doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
