Is Vaginal Spotting While On Depo A Matter Of Concern?

I ve been on depo on and off for 8 years, but I think it may be affecting me differently this time. But I m worried it might be something worse. About two weeks ago I had light spotting that only lasted for about 2 days, which I know can be normal on birth control, but I ve never had this problem. Along with that I also had mild cramping, nausea, headaches, and very emotional. Basic PMS symptoms. But even after the spotting stopped everything else has continued. I m exhausted, but can t sleep. Pain in my lower back and neck/shoulders that worsens by coughing or simply breathing. I ve been under a lot of stress lately and have multiple sclerosis, so am I just being paranoid or should I go to the urgent care. I m traveling out of state from my usual doctor.
