HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It can take a few weeks to months (in some persons) for period to return to normal after depo has been discontinued.
It is possible that the pain that you are experiencing is related to hormonal changes that can result in the resumption of your period.
You can monitor for now and consider the use of oral pain killers if the pain is severe.
Anti inflammatory pain killers such as ibuprofen, naproxen, cataflam, may be the best option.
I hope this helps
