How to tell if you hit a nerve
Pretty sure I hit a nerve on a thigh pin.
Soon as I hit muscle my leg started to convulse . Has anybody else done this ... Just so happens I had to try 4 different spots first 1 I was at a painful spot and didn't want to force througg then the leg convulse thing thing another extremely painful spot but the 4th didn't feel it whole way through which is how it's always been ... crappy pin day but that convulse thing freaked me out.

Yes. Involuntary movement means nerve contact.
I used to have my gf suck while she was pinning my glutes. I knocked her unconcious involuntarily. She stands behind me now.

R. I haven't personally, but one of my doctor's did and the needle popped out when I flinched. I'm guessing he must have hit a nerve during the EMG test.
What guage needle and length are you using?

This is why I can’t do quads. Last time ended up in urgent care with an infection. I’ve never successfully pinned my quads

You hit the area around we’re your pocket would be. I’m using 1 inch pins now just cause that’s what I have but I can use 5/8 no problem in that area

I usually pin about 1 in to the right or left of the bottom of my pocket (right on right leg, left on leg) the nerve would been on the edge of the bottom of the pocket area (I try to alternate the pin spot by 1" for thigh pins)
