Pain in bum muscle after depo injection ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Injection site pain: Depends on how it looks but there is a fair amount of the hormone injected into the muscle (enough for 12 weeks worth of contraception). If there is no redness you could wait and see and get checked out by your nurse/doctor/sexual health clinic during the day. Needs urgent attention if redness fevers or worsening severity of pain as will need to have the site examined and checked.

Agree w Dr Ram: In the meantime you can try moist heat and even Tylenol or an NSAID if really bothering you.
