| 1 | hip pain | edema shot in leg and pain still continues became dizzy and whole leg is painful walking sitting or lying down - 2 months later | i will never get anoher injection of this | F | 86 | 1 days 40 1X day | 12/26/2014 | 1 | shoulder pain | one shot in radiology by dr. was like poison to my body. everything much worse all over. stiffness and pain. and this is 7 weeks later. | 83 | 1 days 1X day | 2/27/2014 | 1 | knee pain | severe pain on injection site plus stabbing pains in leg down to ankle. NHS staff & G.P have no ideas to make the pain less worse which this drug is supposed to be for. Leg joint pains becoming unbearable now. | Do not use this drug if the patient is arthritic or has osteoporosis.See manufacturers notes with reference to anti inflammatory painkillers | 83 | 1 days 40mg 1X day | 3/19/2019 | 5 | Sinus Polyps | I experience no side effects amybe a little dryr red skin but it is worth it. | Without it, polyps grow out my nose.I take blood thinners for heart fib. so I cant stop taking thinners for a nasal operation. Some doctors are paranoid about kenalog but its a lifesaver for me. | M | 80 | 15 years 2mg 1X O | 7/28/2011 | 5 | knee pain bone on bone | absolutly no side effects | Most of the comments I read are nonsense. I have taken a kenelog shot in both knees every three months for six years. The medicine works wonders in eliminating the pain. I have bone on bone knees. It works for six to seven weeks. wished it would work a bit longer between shots. A wonder drug. Love it. | M | 80 | 6 years 1X day | 11/13/2012 | 1 | Hip pain | Anxiety, Rage, Paranoia | My husband got a hip injection for pain on 8/29. On 8/30 he had a sudden outburst of rage. Since then he has been very moody and angry and is making life miserable. I hope this steroid gets out of his system soon. I will never let him get this shot again. | M | 77 | 1 days 80mg 1X day | 9/5/2016 | 5 | for asthma and allergies | kenalog injection - a little flushing feeling of the face on second day, maybe a little edgier than usual. | I have very excellent results with a Kenalog injection about every 6 months for asthma. In reading all these reviews I think some people would say they had side effects from water aside from frequent urination. Like stress, face broke out, headache, gained weight, lost weight, seizures, temporary blindeness, etc. It kind of sounds like the same symptoms for every medication | F | 73 | 2 years 40mg 1X AN | 8/28/2011 | 2 | Hip arthritis | Profuse dizziness and sweating,sweating profusely.Sweating last for months.Fainted once because of the heat and the sweating felt awful for months. | F | 72 | 0 days 30 1X day | 10/28/2020 | 1 | Eczema | On day 3, after the Kenalog Injection I had extreme inflammation in both knees and could hardly get up from a sitting position. I am walking slow. Then, a few days later the whole right side of my body is inflamed. I was told by the doctor that it would not affect my Osteoporosis nor disc disease. I feel lied to. He was in a hurry to give me the injection and didn't seem very patient in answering questions, more like avoiding giving answers. | Doctors should show patients respect for their bodies. Patients have a right to ask questions, and to know what is being ingested in their bodies. I am 72 years old, and I feel violated. I feel Kenalog should be banned. | F | 72 | 1 days 1X day | 4/17/2022 | 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 in Spring | none, Have taken Kenalog shots for over 30 yrs. One a year. Wonderful.......... | F | 71 | | 2/11/2009 | 1 | Carpel tunnel | Anxiety, fatigue, muscle weakness, blurry vision, burning and numbness in both feet, severe stomach pain. Depressed for 5 days after shot. Symptoms began two days after injection. | The shot did help with CTS but the side effects not worth Any benefit, especially burning feet pain which I am hoping will clear up in a few days and not become a ongoing neuropathy. | M | 71 | 1 days 40 mg 1X day | 4/20/2015 | 1 | For a disc problem in lower back | Flulike symptoms, loss of hair, chronic cough, severe cramping, blurred vision, headaches, fainyed twice for no reason. | Finally put 2 and 2 together, and stopped the shot's for my back pain, took several wks, but cough stopped, hair stopped falling out . Disappeared. Unfortunately i face back surgery | 70 | 2 years | 1/20/2020 | 1 | chronic fatigue | dizziness, arrhythmia, severe pain in a scapular muscle that already had a spasm, but became awful the night after the injection. The injection was in my hip. I've had a lot of pain, but this was above the worst. | I guess it helps some with allergies, but would tell anyone else to never get it. | F | 70 | 1 times don't know 1X O | 3/21/2011 | 5 | Extreme, severe, allergies | Took yearly for 5 years in my 40's. Quit because of worry about bone thinning. No change in 20 years. Allergies have become debilitating again. Last summer Asked for Kenelog shot, made apt with dr. Discussed side effects. Got shot. No problems ever of any kind. Allergies slow down with in first 20 min. Next day gone. If they return at all in the next few months they are livable.. There were a couple of times 20 years ago I had to take 2 a year to function. Just got a shot this week. Live in high dessert, dry winter dust, pollen already so bad couldn't function. Have adverse reaction to all oral medications and now most nasal sprays. 60+ years of allergy meds. I am happy that I can still get a kenelog shot when I need. | Took shots for 5 years, usually only 1 a year. At least twice had 2 in one year. Didn't use Kenelog for 15-20 years. Started using again in 2014, 1 shot. Just got a shot this past week March 2015. No problems. | F | 69 | 40 1X AN | 3/9/2015 | 2 | midfoot arthritis | Pain disappeared day after injection into midfoot but within 2 days, a stabbing pain started in midfoot adjacent to injection site. At night foot just throbs and does not respond to icing or pain meds. A PA at radiology at hospital administered the injection. She seemed very unsure of the procedure ..wonder if it was properly administered. Foot feels on fire....much more painful now than before. Would never use kenalog 40 again. I have not slept nights since the injection. Reporting this to my orthopedic doctor who recommended this injection. Bad choice for me. | F | 69 | 1 days 40mg | 9/14/2015 | 5 | I was so ill I thought I wanted to die. I am not exaggerating. They gave me a Kenalog - 40 and a 10 day script for steroids. Within 3 days I went off the steroids. It has been 7 months and now I am beginning to get asthma again. I understand you shouldn't have Kenalogs no earlier than 9 months apart. I don't know how sick I will be by then. They saved my life. Skeyes Scottsdale, Arizona | F | 68 | 720 days 1X AN | 7/28/2010 | 5 | allergies, itching of the eyes. | None, I have had two shots in the past four years. and neither time did I have any negative reactions. It took three days to begin working, but it worked wonderfully. I will definitly get another Kenolog shot this allergy season. | M | 68 | 2 years | 5/8/2009 | 1 | Osteoarthritis | Heart palpitations, anxiety, insomnia , loss of appetite | It definitely reduced the inflammation in my knees but it is 11 weeks now & I am still experiencing horrible side effects. Not worth it! | F | 68 | 1 days 40 | 3/30/2018 | 5 | Extreme hayfever for over 60 yrs. | I have taken 1 plus booster shots per year for 31 yrs!!!!! No side effects!!! | This shot has saved my life from devastating hayfever. My allergies began when I was 5 as I can remember. After 3 yrs ARMY 66-69, I had an allergy Specialist give me 4 shots a week in 1971-72 with NO help!! I began getting Kenalog 40 in 1977 with a booster after 3 or 4 months when the pollen was bad in our San Joaquin Valley, Ca. Now 31 + years later I am ready for my March shot. I need no pills or nasal sprays when I have had my shot. Last year I had a kenalog 60 and needed another . My doctor said that 60 is the most she can give for the year. This year will be a 40 & a 20 booster later if I need it. I am a business ower in great health, I hav recently had 2 Heart Ablations and seed therapy for prostate cancer. Both are contained & normal!. thank God for Kenalog40 | M | 66 | 31 years | 3/6/2009 |
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.
