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.

Re: knot in glute

Tell 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?

Re: knot in glute

Thanks 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...

Re: knot in glute

Re: knot in glute

if 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.

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

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.

i 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
