Firmagon or Lupron

Prostate cancer treatment question

I opted for Firmagon bc I could get one month shots and reassess rather than a 4-6 month shot of Lupron. Had the injection this last Friday. I know it has been only a day but my injection site on my stomach really hurts. Can’t work out or even bend to put on my socks. Anyone had experience between these 2 medications. Don’t want to go through this pain again in a month.
