Only appropriate if you were sick.

It is the most common place to have this particular shot. Very thick and needs a big muscle. I have had older men refuse to have the shot in the butt and they would call back the next day complaining that there arm hurt and they couldn't move it or even think about working! Almost crying like a baby! Just be glad she did it the right way!

That is where the nurse should give that shot on a child that age. All baby shots are usually given in the leg ..at the age of 1 year it is appropriate to give children shots in the buttocks! They can give it in the thigh..like we do for babies. One cc is the max. dose that should be given in the arm...anything more can cause an abcess. Most of the pain was probably burning from the medicine...not the shot it's self.

It is very appropriate. A shot of penicillin is a large injection. It usually takes several cc's of the medication and it tends to be quite thick, so it is injected into a large muscle to prevent irritation of the tissue around the injection site.

Penicillin shots go in the butt. It would have hurt a hell of a lot worse in your arm.

That nurse did you a favor! She could have put the shot into the muscles of your arm, where it would have hurt even more. I'm guessing it was a very large shot, and she needed a large muscle to put it in.

well if it saved your life i should hope it was appropriate...... and I have had 2 penicilin shots in the thighs and 1 in the butt all at 5years old, the thighs hurt much much worse than the butt

you are SO lucky... penicylin intramuscular, in the arm hurts like the blue blazes...
and it has to be done so quick and forcefully, or else it will solidify and render the needle useless... wich means, one more needle, one more try.
as for ethical - appropriate... heh.. don't worry... 4 years from now you'll dream of that kind of attention from a nurse :))
