Brief Answer:
a couple of weeks probably...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

depo-medrol has a prolonged effect when administered intramuscularly and it may take a couple of weeks before its effects wear off. Headache is a potential side effect.

If it's not severe you can use simple analgesics like paracetamol (acetaminophen).

I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
