I have been having having stomach pains and back aches for longer then a month. I been on depo for 2 years. These symptoms started right after my shot on September 17th and haven't stopped. I tried a colon cleanse and a body detox. Both didn't help so what could be wrong?

Have you seen a doctor about this? It could be an unrelated illness. It could be the depo shot, but if you haven't had a reaction to it before, it is unlikely you're having one now.

Typically the "Detox" and the "Colon cleanse" will only cleanse your wallet of money. They're not really effective. Your bowels are constantly cleansing themselves, it's called dropping a deuce. Your kidneys detox your blood. It's what they do.
