Depo Provera Weight Gain and Bad Discs

Experience

I went on Depo Provera in May 2018 and I quickly gained about 25 lbs. on it. I went from about 130 lbs to 154. (I am short, with a small frame). My last shot was in January 2019. I lost some weight after getting off it, I went down to about 140, and now I am at 146. I am frustrated. I want to get back to 130 again. I do exercise. I like walking.

I do feel that depo ruined my body for good. I still have fat deposits on my belly, bottom, and thighs. I hate them. I hate my body after this. I deal with chronic pain in my joints, my neck, and back. I have bad discs in my back and neck and there is constant pain. The doctors want to burn nerves. I am frustrated.
