Consequences of the functional equation of the p-adic L-function of an elliptic curve

We prove that the first two coefficients in the series expansion around $s=1$ of the $p$-adic $L$-function of an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ are related by a formula involving the conductor of the curve. This is analogous to a recent result of Wuthrich for the classical $L$-function, which makes use of the functional equation. We present a few other consequences for the $p$-adic $L$-function and a generalisation to the base-change to an abelian number field.
