Either not deep enough or missed the muscle tissue completely. I would keep and eye on and and watch for fever..but wouldn't anticipate any further complications.

Tweetwarm rag and massage twice daily

TweetTell your buddy to spend a few minutes researching pinning techniques and advice. Like Pitt said, he probably missed completely. Has your buddy tried a 25g before stepping up to 23g?

TweetThanks man...ill let him know...anything he should do to speed up process of healing...I think your correct with not hitting muscle...he showed me and he pins himself and it didn't seem like he went far enough back...

TweetOk thanks fellas...he said he just twisted back as far as he could and pinned where he could. Comfortably. Reach....that and he ssaid its just awkward cud hes. Not left handed lol

Tweetif hes pinning himself hes better off pinning biceps or shoulders. those are the 2 i hit and its much easier to walk the next day. as for healin up the ass, warm that puppy up and get the blood flowing there... give it a nice massage or two a day. itll dissipate eventually.

TweetIf he gets to the point where walking is hard because of the bad shot, Motrin will be his friend...

TweetThanks again everyone... this is second time hes had me post for him....he researched it ...he said he just feels better when he hears it from a vet

TweetI get knots and I know its going deep enough and in the muscle.I think with me and for so many years hitting the same area its just happens.

I get that too from time to time.. especially when you hit those scar tissue patches where you can't push the plunger to save your life.

Tweeti know a guy that mighta hit his syatic (not sure how spelled) nerve once and it looked like he had a softball in his back pocket for i think a couple weeks. it was a long time ago. anyway just tell your friend to be careful. 1.5" is definitely long enough though. i even use 1" on glutes and all seems well

Tweetyep those scar tissue areas thats it
