I believe you're referring to the contraceptive injection? I didn't experience pain with it, but I bled nonstop for a good three months before I decided my body just wasn't going to get used to the change in hormones. I was given the pill to stop the bleeding, but it's not a long term solution. Better to change to the pill or some other contraception altogether.
I'm not exactly sure why some women react like we did, but what's happening is the uterine lining is collapsing as fast as it's being built up. I've been told I have a pretty high testosterone level, which (and this is where I'm piecing things together, so don't quote me) may be why hormone-based contraceptives that don't contain oestrogen don't work so well for me.
All I can advise is switching contraceptives. As for having someone to talk to, my e-mail's open.
