| 5 | Autoimmune joint issues | Aching in joints day 1 after shot, however this does subside after a few days with rest, provides long term remission of inflammation and pain. I'm very grateful for this drug. | F | 39 | 1 years 120mg 1X AN | 10/27/2023 | 5 | seasonal allergies | mild soreness around injection site | receive 5 ml vial once per year when the allergen that affects me is at its peak. | M | 55 | 36 years 200 MG 1X O | 6/16/2021 | 5 | Allergies inflammation in joints | No side effects..feel great | Recommended by some friends who had great results | F | 59 | 15 days 40 1X day | 6/12/2021 | 5 | Knee Pain | No side effects, worked great no more pain. | It was a wonderful solution to my problematic knee pain. | M | 53 | 4 months 40 | 5/25/2020 | 5 | Knee pain | Vaginal bleeding going on 10 days. Going for ultrasound not sure I would do it again | F | 64 | 1 days | 9/4/2019 | 5 | Seasonal Allergy | Dry throat, perhaps some anxiety on top of this but this may have been due to oral antihistamines. | I have had quite a good experience taking this to combat hayfever. In the UK you have to find a Private GP will to administer the injection and are only allowed a maximum of 2 per year. I normally have mine in late February and early May. The effectiveness is very good for about 4 weeks and then tapers off for another 4. It means I get about 5 months of relief from Pollen. Not 100% relief but way better than oral antihistamines. | M | 40 | 3 years 40 2X O | 6/6/2019 | 5 | Hayfever | Pick up colds easily but that’s all really. | Worked wonders for hayfever | M | 35 | 2 times 40 | 6/19/2018 | 5 | severe hay fever allergy | none | it is the only treatment that has worked 100% for me done immunotherapy 3 years doctors pesriptions for histames steriod pills sprays etc nothing worked for me had severe hayfever since 8 years of age kenelog is the only treatment that has ever worked now i can not get it on pescription off my doctor because it is not licenced for allergy so have had to obtain it privately at cost | M | 48 | 0 years 80mg | 6/18/2018 | 5 | Sinuses | NONE | The only thing that works...feels like I have a new set of lungs..been doing this for about 10 yrs. Sometimes I can go every other year. | M | 61 | 1 years | 9/25/2017 | 5 | For my skin on hands and feet..... | 0 days | 6/12/2017 | 5 | Extreme pain in shoulder | Have experienced no side affects. | Today's injection was the best thing to happen for me in a very long time. Almost instant relief from the shoulder pain that pills could not remedy. I have been walking around in a prescribed drugged fog and instead the answer was a simple Kenalog injection. | M | 64 | 1 days Unsure | 5/9/2017 | 5 | Tendonitis, bursitis | I've had this injection once each for bicipital and rectus femoris tendonitis, and twice for hip bursitis. It completely cured my tendonitis both times after physical therapy and other treatments had failed. The bursitis (and all the other aches and pains the Kenalog relieves) disappear for a few months but always come back. Although this drug is injected into a specific area, it does have systemic effects, and it stays in your body for 30-40 days. For about a month after the injection I've always had insomnia and anxiety and just feeling off, but it's been worth it for me. | F | 71 | 3 days 40 mg 1X day | 4/24/2017 | 5 | Allergies | The only side effect I have is complete euphoria.. my allergies are so severe that within seconds I have relief. I've been taking the shot for 6 years now once a year and only wish I would get it in early feb. rather than mid march. I feel for the people who have had side effects but for me zero.. actually I don't think I could live with out it. | M | 47 | 1 days 40 | 3/20/2017 | 5 | osteoarthritis in foot | Almost immediate relief from.pain. I can walk relatively normally again. Main side effect was calling in to pub on way home to celebrate. Had a very large glass of wine. Then 4 gin and tonics. So kiss of inhibitions. | It is good stuff. A huge relief from bone grinding bone joint pain. | M | 61 | 1 days 40mg | 12/15/2016 | 5 | osteoarthritis in foot | Almost immediate relief from.pain. I can walk relatively normally again. Main side effect was calling in to pub on way home to celebrate. Had a very large glass of wine. Then 4 gin and tonics. So loss of inhibitions. | It is good stuff. A huge relief from bone grinding bone joint pain. | 61 | 1 days 40mg | 12/15/2016 | 5 | Rheumatoid arthritis | I bruise easily, and have more bruising than before. Otherwise, the only other side effect is increased appetite for a few days. | It is a miracle for me. My hands were so painful that I had trouble dressing myself etc. Also had an injection for torn meniscus that helped immensely. | F | 58 | 1 years | 6/2/2016 | 5 | allergies/congestion | Cold sweats just alot of sweating | F | 44 | 1 days | 5/1/2016 | 5 | Allergies | Temporary pain at injection site. | I got a Kenalog shot for my allergies which affected my sinuses mostly. Within 24 hours I wasn't experiencing any more allergy symptoms. I also had a lot of itching at night which went away and several areas of eczema cleared up. The relief was for about 3 months, then everything slowly started coming back. I got another shot after 5 months and got the same results. I plan on going as long as possible between shots, but the relief is worth the risk of possible side effects for me. | M | 57 | 1 years 40 2X O | 1/16/2016 | 5 | osteo arthritis of right hip | none | less pain in my hip thank god! | F | 60 | 10 weeks | 1/10/2016 | 5 | Severe allergies/inflammation | No side effects whatsoever | Quality of life greatly improved with injections. Greatly reduced inflammation, joint pain, nasal congestion, cough, eczema, eye-irritation and greatly improved day-to-day function overall. | F | 53 | 1 years 40mg 2X O | 10/11/2015 |
KENALOG-40 (TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE): This medication is used in a variety of conditions such as allergic disorders, arthritis, blood diseases, breathing problems, certain cancers, eye diseases, intestinal disorders, collagen and skin diseases. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of triamcinolone, especially if it is to be injected near your spine (epidural). Rare but serious side effects may occur with epidural use. Triamcinolone acetonide is known as a corticosteroid hormone (glucocorticoid). It works by decreasing your body's immune response to these diseases and reduces symptoms such as swelling.
