Is the pain at the site of an injection? If it is there may be an infection or internally the needle nicked a blood vessel. If not at an injection site - are you by any chance on your 1st injection - if so then it could be the flae stage kicking in which is where all eisting endo cysts ovaries etc get bombarded with hormones and go in to overdrive - before shutting down.

If not your 1st injection and you are past the flare stage then it could be anything but endo, might be an adhesion issue, or a leaking cyst if you had one, or problem with your digestive tract.

Do see your GP if the pain persists and pain killers don't touch it. Prostap is not a pain killer. If you have pain in addition to taking Prostap then you need to get relief for it, but also look on it as a warning that something isn't right and speak to your GP with concerns.

Remember to read through the patient advice leaflets and the hundreds of reports on this forum and many other for Lupron the US name for PRostap, as well as Prostap. Use the search box on the green bar at the top of the page to look for keywords on this forum GnRH, Prostap, Lupron. Zoladex or Decapeptyl. Almost all discussions will have been on the side effects you can experience.

Hope your journey with Prostap is not too ghastly. Remember you can always refuse the next dose if you are having a rotten time with it as many do.
