-- Hi,

I've had pain for about 7 years now and have had 5 Depo Provera injections over the years. My experience is usually that the endo symptoms are so much worse for weeks after the injection and then things improve. However, I had a hysterectomy (my ovaries were left) a year ago and the two shots that I've had since then have not been very effective for the pain.
