What Causes Indent In Left Arm After Taking Depo Provera Birth Control?
Good afternoon, I have been getting the Depo Provera birth control shot since June of last year. But I have noticed that on my left arm, there is a indent.. It sometimes gets hot, and painful to the touch. Sometimes I will go to touch it and it wont feel like my skin. I was wondering if this shot would cause it if given one too many times in the same arm?... Help me!? I am concerned about either keep going with the shit, or pick a different birth control method?..

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The indent in the arm that you have could be related to detachment of fascia in the area. Rest and ice with mild pain killers will help in proper healing in 4-6 weeks.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
