| 5 | keloids | slight skin discoloration | Worked better than anything I've ever tried. Keloid is almost gone; no itching or pain. take one injection a month for past seven months. | M | 55 | 7 months | 5/8/2007 | 5 | Poison Ivy | none | This was a generic form of what kenalog is that i was taking. I have severe poison ivy allergy. This was on my hand. My fingers were swollen to twice their normal circumference and very blistered. The cream worked within 24 hours after applying. The swelling went down and the itching was gone. Did not have to use a lot of it either. Used less than what was directed on the bottle. Remember you own your body. Research and understand all that you can about anything that ails you. Know and understand anything given to you to relieve that ailment. | M | 39 | 2 weeks | 8/2/2008 | 5 | Lumbar - spinal stenosis | Dry mouth | Nerve pain was debilitating. Could only stand up for 5-10 minutes at a time. Painful even to stand and shave/brush teeth in the morning. First injections (both facets and epidural space)...everything is fine. Can stand, workout, life is more normal | M | 54 | 1X day | 2/21/2014 | 1 | Allergies | I took shot at 5:45 pm today. I am DYING RIGHT NOW !! I have considered going to the ER. The pain is almost unbearable from my low back yo my knees. TERRIBLE !! | M | 43 | 1 days 30 | 5/23/2014 | 1 | Inflamed tendon in left shoulder | Memory loss, anxiety/panic attacks, highly elevated blood pressure, elevated pulse. Injection was Feb 2014, it's now Jan 2015 and only in the last couple months have the horrible symptoms begun to subside. | In my opinion corticosteroids are an incredibly dangerous drug that is passed off as "safe" by the medical establishment. | M | 42 | 1 years 10mg 1X O | 1/27/2015 | 1 | I had slight caugh and dr gave shot | Very high pulse rate 147. Had to go to the ER. And take beta blocker to keep pulse below 100. | I have just had stents in my heart. It interfears with Plavix. Awful experience. | M | 72 | 0 days 40 - 80 | 2/24/2018 | 1 | Lumbar | , constant headache, cramping everywhere, can't sleep. Side effects immediately after injections. legs were getting paralyzed. Cramping everywhere | First shot in 3,months went OK , kept climbing water towers , my job Second shot 6 months went OK , kept climing water towers Third shot 9 months later really went bad immediatly after shot Cramping cramping cramping , all epidural . Bent over a pillow for shot. | M | 50 | 9 months 60 3X O | 8/10/2013 | 1 | back pain - 2 facet injections | Where to start . . . unbelievable fatigue, shooting pain in arms and legs, insomnia, hair loss, weight loss, blurry vision, headaches, mood swings, itching all over. Almost 9 months since injections and still have side effects. Other than back pain, healthy before shots. | How is it so many people suffer from this med and doctors deny any serious side effects??!! I asked before injections and was told they are safe. Maybe some flushing of my face, that's all I was told. And when I went back to docs about immediate, horrendous adverse reaction, they denied Kenalog causing anything. Greedy #$%^&$%^! | M | 42 | 1 days 80 MG 1X day | 6/2/2013 | 1 | Lumbar disk degeration | Terrible side effects. I experienced chest pain- In upper abdominal region. Rolling headaches, weight loss, muscle loss, panic attacks, loss of sex drive. My hands would shake, I could not keep them still. Numbness in feet | Finally my PCP checked my B-12 level. It was very low. Kenalog will cause your B-12 to drop, drastically. If you are experiencing nervous system dysfunction after having epidural injection of Kenalog, have B-12 checked. You may need to see an endocrinologist to evaluate and replace. | M | 37 | 1 times 1X O | 3/29/2016 | 1 | Dermatitis | Hives for weeks. Abdominal pain, nausea, chills all day long. Loss of appetite. Fatigue | Don’t recommend at all. Can’t believe this drug is approved. | M | 58 | 0 days | 1/26/2020 | 1 | Bad knee | I had to have a injection in the right knee .ever since I had injection I've had this very dry sore throat I always got to keep clearing my throat . | Would not recommend! | M | 40 | 14 days 40MG 1X day | 2/19/2022 | 5 | Lupus | No side effects at all, and I think most of the people that report side effects are not affected by the drug, but they blame it for everything that affects them. I think some people that feel a need to convince themselves they are victims. | It reduces inflammation, it doesn't cause inflammation. | F | 50 | 0 days Shot 1X day | 5/29/2021 | 5 | Seasonal Allergies / Hay Fever | I was having horrible hay fever and re-occurring sinus infections. Got the shot in my buttock and cleared it up within 48 hours and lasted about a year. Just got the shot again because symptoms started up again. The day of I get a bit fidgety and a little anxious because of the steroid but after that I was fine. | F | 28 | 2 times | 4/6/2015 | 5 | keiloids | I get an injection every six weeks and I am very happy with the results. I have very sensitive skin so my bra strap caused keiloids on my shoulders. They became big lumps and darkened my skin. Most people mentioned about a dent in the area of injection. Well, this is what you want to happen with keiloids. You want them to shrink and it also brings back the natural color. Once those big, dark lumps are flattened I will quit with the injections. I have noticed some irregular bleeding that mimics my cycle. Most of the time it's just spotting but it basically goes on throughout the month! However, I expect to have only 1 more injection and I will be happy with my shoulders and my cycle should return to normal. | F | 28 | 4 months 1X M | 5/24/2010 | 5 | seasonal allergies | none | this shot was a savior to me for my seasonal allergies. if i could get it before my allergy season started, i never had a symptom. no problems with the shot or the site of the shot. | F | 49 | 1 years unknown 1X AN | 10/29/2014 | 3 | Random hives and bronchial infection | Period 3 times a month, for 7 months now!!! Extreme weight loss due to how much I'm bleeding. | I had an allergic reaction of bad hives From head to toe that would not go away. At the same time I developed a bronchial infection that I have gotten every year since childhood. The bitch at my local urgent care spent 30 seconds listening to me and immediately was going to give me this steroid. I hesitated but went ahead and took it to get rid of the hives. She said my cough was also allergies(I told her she was WRONG.) The uncaring, unknowledgeable staff didn't give me any information on the drug or its side effects when I asked. It has been 7 months now since the injection. My hives went away immediately. I was sick with mucous in my lungs for 2 months. Even after going back to get amoxicillin. But I continually bleed and have heavy periods. I am fed the fuck up with the health Care professionals who don't give a fuck about what they do to you!!!! I had to go to my natropath doctor to find out this was a side effect. I don't know why I can't find ANY information in my online research about long term effects. Everything says weight GAIN but my experience is the complete opposite!! Every other "professional" says it leaves the body after 3 months and says it can't be the reason for my periods and drastic weight loss. What are they trying to hide with this steroid???? | F | 25 | 1 days 40? 1X AN | 5/17/2020 | 2 | Seasonal Allergies | I inquired about the side effects and was told there were side effects but my allergies were severe enough that the pros outweighed the cons. I have experienced absolutely zero side effects but still have severe allergies. | F | 32 | 1X day | 6/23/2015 | 1 | hair loss | Caused me to have stiffness in head and neck with excruciating pain | F | 54 | 1 months | 6/17/2016 | 1 | Shoulder pain | My BP rose up so high I had to go to ER. My BP has not come down yet. This was in April. My life because of high bp has been hell. NEVER had high bp before the shot. | This drug has settled in my liver and I was told it could take months to flush out | F | 51 | 0 days 50mg | 9/19/2017 | 1 | Sinus infections | Have recurring sinus infections due to deviated septum, sinus pressure got really bad, went to urgent care gave me this shot in butt, and worst decision, blood pressure went up, fast heart rate, leg pain, horrible anxiety, had to go to emergency room, everything was fine just horrible side effects from this steroid, This drug is horrible it's been over 30 days and still feeling side effects!!! | F | 45 | 0 days 40 1X O | 9/28/2020 |
