Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to side effects of the depo shot. The pain will gradually go away. You can take a spasmolytic such as Spasmex to relieve the pain. If the pain lasts for more than five weeks you should see a gynecologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
