Will Progesterone Cream Cause Cancer?

I have been using Progesterone cream for 20 years. Emerita Progest has been my favorite. Wondering if there is any chance that it may cause cancer. Lately I have been having pain on my right shoulder that radiates down my left side to my leg. I do have osteoperoses and have had Reclast about 8 months ago. Could that be causing stiffness?

Hello.There is no scientific evidence linking the use of progesterone cream with any type of cancer.About pain in the right shoulder, it is unlikely that it is caused by the use of Zoledronic Acid. Go to your doctor for evaluation and treatment of shoulder pain.I wish you good health.
