"Desperate for relief after 2 surgeries within 3 months of each other, I was so hopeful about this medication.  I ignored the reviews and got the shot (11.75 dosage administered every 3 months).  I regret my choice so much.  First, the expense!  Even with insurance, my out of pocket was $1100.  The mood swings were so bad that I became suicidal.  I've gained 20 pounds that exercise and nutrition can't shed.  The hot flashes were controlled by an OTC called Estroven.  The pain did subside, but only for the 1st month after each shot (I got 2 shots total).  Now, the pain is back and worse than ever and I'm only on month 5 of the treatment.  Surgery # 3 scheduled in 2 weeks.  This med is NOT worth the side effects."
