I started the depo-provera shot on 12/2. this morning i woke up with my left side hurting. it feels like a huge air pocket. is there anything i can do? thanks

Simethacone: Progesterone hormones can change bowel function a bit and you can get an air pocket on the left upper colon giving you the symptoms you described. It's called splenic flexure syndrome. Symethacone products which break up gas bubbles and increased fiber and water can all help. Things will get better. If it's still a problem in a week or so check with your doctor.
