The Depo Provera shot is generally given in the deltoid muscle (upper arm) of the non-dominant arm, but you can get it in either the upper arm or in the hip.

∙ 12y agoHip. I had the injection in my arm for the first two times I had it. After my second shot a sharp pain, like the neddle was still being injected, wouldn't go away at the ingection site. I was asked the the next time I went in if I wanted to have the shot inserted in my upper thigh, because it is a bigger muscle and will go through the blood stream better. I haven't had a problem since then.

they can either give you your shot in the upper part of your arm, or in the side of your thigh. I have it before and it doesn't hurt as bad to me in the upper thigh but it just depends on what you are comfortable with. You will be sore for a few days the first few times you get it.

No Depo provera has no known effect on Crohns disease. The progestin can change your appetite and therefore your eating habits but it does not cure Crohns disease. Most likely you are simply in a remission which has coincided with the new birth control.
