Ok, for the past few days, my boobs have been killing me. I am on depo. I thought this could just be due
to weather change, etc because nothing in my daily life has changed. So my mom hears this news and decides i need
a b-12 shot. ( I was usually always cold.) so i took this. Well that night/ last night after taking it, i was up sick.
well today i am once again now sick. Food make me just nausious. I took a prego test and it came back neg.
Could this be the shot making me sick? and yes my boobs still hurt, just not as badly. Thank you

What can I do next?

Have you been to the doctor about your boobs hurting? That's the first thing you should do.

Who is giving you the shot? Is it a real doctor?

Stop listening to your mom and go get a bonafide check up. Your GYN should be involved and your family practioner. Talk to them both about ALL of your symptoms including being cold, and tell them about the shot. (Fess up - don't leave stuff out.) You kind of really need to get to the bottom of what ails you!

Good luck!

Who gave you the shot? And why?

I had numerous B-12 shots and was never sick.

I truly feel like my boobs hurting had nothing to do with a shot.

Please consult your Dr.

Not sure why you would get a shot of a single vitamin - it makes no sense from a food science standpoint as vitamins don't work in isolation. A lot of people used to suggest B12 for fatigue but it's really gone out of favor in most circles.

Any injection can cause an infection if things were not sterile or if the solution was contaminated, but it sounds like you had something going on beforehand. There have been some news stories about faulty pharma compounding firms (one in Massachusetts has been closed down because a lot of people got sick) so it's important to notify a doctor and find out the cause. If there is suspicion about the shot, you should have the lot number of the B12 traced and reported to the Board of Health in your town or, better, the state Department of Public Health.

However, the fact that you were always cold is a clue that perhaps your immune system wasn't up to par, and then you came down with something. But the swollen (?) painful breasts are an indicator - if it's not related to your cycle (which is perfectly normal) and if you're not pregnant (take another test to be sure or have the doctor do one), then there could be something else going on.

So, as others have said, get checked out.

Your boobs hurt so you need a B12 shot??? If you are always cold, this could be anemia and you just might need iron, not B12. The shot has many side effects, you could be allergic to the cobalt. Speak to your dr.
