Are Sorness And Tightness In Buttocks After Taking Depo Injection A Cause For Concern?
I got my depo injection in my butt yesterday and it really hurt, when the nurse took out the needle and it felt like it was still in there, and last night it felt so tight and sore I couldn t even sleep on that side last night and its still sore. is this normal?
Hello, This is a possible complication of the shot but it is fairly unusual. Take some ibuprofen for a few days and put warm compresses on the area. If you still have pain after a few days see your doctor for an evaluation. Regards
