Burning and pain in ‘it's in the V shape at the bottom of my rib cage and a little higher, in my throat’ is usually due to a gastric ulcer, severe acidity, gastric reflux, stomach cancer, a hiatal hernia, or gall stones.


It is unlikely to be entirely due to the Depo shot except for the symptom of ‘burning I feel like I have a fever through my body’. If you have irregular eating hours, or do not eat healthy then taking the Depot shot only aggravated an existing condition.


Treatment is a combination of drugs to reduce the acid and lifestyle changes. You are advised to see a doctor and take medication under a doctor’s supervision.


Avoid too much caffeine, tea, fried and spicy food, and drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bed at least 2 hours after eating food.


Please consult a gastroenterologist or your PCP regarding this. Hope this helps. Take care!
