A member asked:
Got depo provera shot a week ago in my arm and it is still sensitive. if it gets poked or bump it hurts why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It happens: Any injection can hit a nerve or blood vessel within the muscle it is placed. This can make the area sensitive or swollen for longer than usual. The body will sort it out & the extra sensitivity fade over time.
