Your advice to that story was vey helpful. I am not sure if I fit the same criteria as I only receive the Depo Medrol injection in combination with other injections to treat migraines occasionally. This is not a routine drug for me. The only difference was this time I had them give me the Depo shot in the arm and the others in the hips.

The last injection I had was 3 days ago and as you mentioned, approximately 12 hours after injections I started having a reaction. Muscle pain and weakness in both upper arms that has gotten worse over time. Nothing I have tried helps the pain and discomfort subside. This experience is agonizing as I went from having a terrible migraine headache to this pain and discomfort.

My question to you is can the injection cause a reaction to both arms rather than just the injection site and how long does it usually last? Any feedback would be appreciated.
