Decapeptyl and pain

Hi,I am currently awaiting total hysterectomy with ovarian preservation. Am 48 years old,no children.Am on Decapeptyl 3 month injection to shrink my 9 fibroids. At least a year an half ago I had 9 of them,the size of small oranges 6,5cm. They are everywhere. One sits on my bladder. Now not sure as was told my womb was so large with my fibroids,it was inoperable with robotic laparoscopy so shrinking it down. Also shrinking it to ease the pain and anemia. My stomach is damaged from years of taking iron and healing erosions,so can't take any pain relief only Panadol. I recieved my first Decapeptyl 9 weeks ago but am in so much pain. I generally feel fine,other than constant headache,insomnia and extreme fatique and daily bouts of period pain ( all since Decapeptyl ) - even though I don't have any actual period as a result of Decapeptyl. Had my last period for first two weeks after the injection and now my periods are gone,just pain and bloating comes every day. Usually at lunch time or later on towards evening. Did anyone else experienced this? The pain can be quiet bad,it feels like it is bad stomach pain, can't eat much... I can't wait for a surgery and please God get a better quality of life 🙏. I can feel so unwell,bloated and painful. Not sure if it is my womb or my intestines and stomach or all at this stage. I am grateful I got the injection,as I would be so much worse but still feel it is not much different sometimes...
