Prostap side effects :/

I had a lap, endoscopy and D&C last year for investigation of heavy periods & fluctuation of moods due to hormones and painful ovulation..I have had the prostap injection 2 weeks ago to be taken with kliovance..I wish I never bothered..I know each person is different but i already had joint & muscle conditions and the leaflet said it can make these conditions worse which i wasnt told..i am in total agony even my physio cant help until it wears off..im glad its only the monthly injection..does anyone know if it wears off abruptly?

Thank you

Stick with it. On the second injection I was absolutely beside myself wondering how anyone could put up with it - after the third, I never wanted to come off it again!!

That's exactly how I'm feeling at the minute - wondering if it's worth it
