so i got a depo-provera shot a little over a year ago in january and i now have a nasty scar on my abdomen. When i got the first injection, on the left side, the barrel to the shot exploded and then she wiped up the drippage and then proceded to give me another shot on the right side. about a month or so later i noticed two indents on my stomach that were paler in color than the other part. Then in june i went to get a mole removed on my stomach i asked my dermatologist what she thought it was and i told her what happened with the shot. then she told me she had never seen such a thing before and that the shot she though had been injected wrong. so then i was concerned and went to the place i got the shot. the clinician told me that it was okay and that it would go away in a month or so when the shot wore off. so i got another shot on the left side, thinking that it was okay. I went and talked to her again and showed her how it had gotten to be two dimples inside one, and it was on the left side. she showed me a paper that was inside the shot box, stating that 1 in 1000 women get a skin dimple. and it was simply "bad luck" and i said yeah, well you should probably put that side effect in writing because i read that there were no skin effects, and she joking around told me "oh well, i guess we'll have to add that now wont we?" now here it is about a year later and it is so much worse. my skin is paper thin, purple, white, and pink. and there is two marks on the left side. My primary care physician told me that it was preventable, that it was either from the shot being defective or the shot being injected wrong. and to see a plastic surgeon. and i cant afford that, and all i want to know is if its going to go away or is it there for life!!

PLEASE someone help me.

everyone i talk to tells me that i should see a lawyer. i cant find anyone to help me through this.
