Yeah know how you feel. I had two shots last Year and am now using more
money to go to the Dr to figure out why I started having Constant,
Horrible leg cramps two weeks after my first shot. They havent ceased
and only seem to be getting worse. No dr. can figure out why my legs
hurt and not many agree it was from the Lupron but thats the only thing
I was on at the time. The tests to try and figure out what is wrong are
costing just as much if not more as the drug that caused the problem.
