I am in medicine and can tell you that where most people hit in the ass is not a good place, it needs to be more over their hip to be safe. Same with Quads, I see some bad info on injection sites......so, see if you can get a chart of nerves so as to see in REALITY where you can poke, not as some bozo thinks is OK as, well.... they heard it from someone who heard it from someone etc and now the site has moved over 4 inches and can cause damage.
I strongly urge all of you to really do your research regarding nerve pathways around your favorite poke sites as I hear of so many cases where someone has really messed themselves up jamming needles despite hearing it was a safe place.
You may have hit a nerve or you may have poked a hole through part of the tendon (depending on the location you poked) or if low enough to the knee, maybe your 'lateral colateral ligament'. Same course of action for all 3, ice it down for at LEAST a few days. This will also help deal with pain and will reduce any inflammation.
Good luck....PM me if you continue to have a problem with it or whatever
