Potassium and vitamin d deficiency...its been 3 months still auguring from pounding in ears .. | F | 34 | 1 days 1shot | 1/10/2014 | 1 | Cervical Pain | Heart palpitations, low blood pressure, pupil dilation for extended periods of time, leg cramps, night sweats, extreme migraine, moon face, thinning skin, distended abdomen, facial hair growth, severe hair loss on head, fatigue, anxiety, arms and legs atrophied, seizures | I was give an injection for cervical pain after an accident. Within 5 days I was in the ER feeling like I got shot in the head. After 9 days, I was diagnosed with migraines and discharged. I continued to worsen and could not get any answers as to why "Not the Kenalog" was all I heard. Finally, three months after the injection, three hospitalizations later an Endocrinologist diagnosed me with Exogenous Cushings Syndrome as a result of the injection. My initial symptoms persisted for well over a year. Today I suffer from partial and gran-mal seizures. This drug has ruined my life. I am no longer able to function as a mother or employee. I am 36 and feel like someone in their 80's. Do not take this drug. It is not worth the risk. | F | 36 | 1 days ?80mg 1X O | 1/4/2014 | 1 | shoulder pain | My email address is [email protected] i have posted previously and wanted to update. 7 months since my one & only injection.

Lets help each other!! | F | 28 | 1 times 80mg | 1/1/2014 | 1 | pinched nerve and fibromyalgia' | After the injection in my left buttocks, I started getting a hole caused from atrophy. It's now the size of a golf ball! Excessive sweating, racing heart, large ovarian cyst, period for 3 months straight, vomiting/upset stomach, vision problems, loss of all motor skills and feeling in my right arm, and now I'll need surgery to stop the atrophy from eating it's way to my pelvis bone. I've never had so much pain in my pelvis to the point it's unbareable. I have a product liability lawyer who is working on my case. If anyone would like to contact me back or consider a class action lawsuit, please email me back. It's been 3 months and I've heard horror stories as well as numerous class action lawsuits that were all won! Unfortunately, they still haven't taken this drug off the market!! | F | 31 | 1 days 2mg | 12/22/2013 | 1 | Bulging Neck Disc | Bleeding, bleeding and bleeding! | I took 2 shots 80mgs one week apart during the first two weeks in November. Started my period 4 days late on 11/25 and it's 12/21 and I still have my period with heavy bleeding, cramping, depression, IBS flare ups. I specifically asked my doctor were there any side effects and he said no. When I called back complaining about prolonged periods he suddenly remembered it was a side effect for women. This has shattered my life and I warn you not to take it. Deal with the pain or try alternative meds. I am so depressed, tired and irritable from such a messed up cycle. Doctors and pharm companys needs their azz whipped for this! | F | 37 | 80mg 2X M | 12/21/2013 | 1 | Back pain epidural injection | 3 days after body weakness no sleep confusion fluid retention very bad leg pains and body pains.Hyper alert too much cortisone cushing rapid heart anxiety | All symptoms got far worse Drs no help.8 months later my life was ruined.Sleeping is difficult I have stomach bowel gallbladder problems damaged a tendon in my foot as even my feet were full of fluid.I can''t eat healthy foods infarct there very little I can eat without pain, my bowels don't work.I still have burning body muscle pain.

Range of motion decreased significantly more tha 80 %.I felt pain in my bone of the knee cap. I could not completely straighten my leg or bend it more than 30 degrees. Headachwe and nausea. I would never recommend this to anyone. Very dangerous with many adverse affects from taking it one single time. I am still waiting to see if an infection occurs and how much worse the swelling becomes ot how long it will take to have the intended eff3ct of DECREASED INFLAMMATION and pain. | F | 48 | 1 days 3cc | 11/15/2013 | 1 | inflamed sinus | 1X SEVERE SINUS DRAINAGE, WENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM TWICE DUE TO ALLERGY TO YEAST INFECTION FROM SHOT AND PANIC ATTACKS.

Normal period started on time 3 weeks after injection. Stopped for a day and started again, getting progressively heavier. Blood loss was significant enough to cause dizziness and paleness. Went to OB/gyn - pelvic US done. Birth control pills have slowed down the bleeding, but it continues after two and a half weeks. | F | 43 | 1 days 1X day | 11/1/2013 | 1 | bronchitis | Tightness of chest | F | 34 | 1 days | 10/18/2013 | 1 | shoulder pain | Too many to list! The most concerning is atrophy at injection site, major hair loss that is still coming out in clumps, period went crazy i.e. bleeding black blood every 2weeks, depression with thoughts of suicide, insomnia, blurred vision, nerve damage, weight loss, & terrible night sweats. | Its been 4 months since my injection and ive lost about a third of my hair and it still continues to fall out by the handful. Does anyone know what i can do to help? I take so many vitamins i cant take them all at once or ill be sick. Doctor never told me of potential side effects and denied that kenalog is responsible for what has happened to my body. If anyone has found a lawyer or has information about a class action lawsuit. Please contact me. | F | 28 | 80 mg 1X day | 10/5/2013 | 2 | Anokosing Spondilitis | I feel really depressed. I was fine and dandy before the injection. I have cronic pain.

Dealing with large ovarian cyst on injection side that was never there before, headaches, nausea, mood swings. | Some effects are wearing off after 3 months with the exception of painful cyst on ovary. May need hormones to regulate, never had any of these symptoms prior to injection. | F | 46 | 3 months 40 mg 1X O | 8/19/2013 | 1 | spinal stenosis | insomnia, blurry vision, eye pain, lack of concentration, depression, constant menstrual bleeding for 8 months, skin thinning/easily bruising, digestive problems, cramping everywhere, hair loss. all continuing 8 months after injections. | To those doctors who claim to have never heard of serious long-term side effects caused by particulate steroids including Kenalog, this is total BS. The documentation is out these, both anecdotal accounts from countless suffering patients and medical papers. Problem is the corticosteroid industry is so massively lucrative, those involved - injection doctors, manufacturers - are part of a cover-up that pretends these drugs are low-risk, essentially safe. It's criminal.

I saw zero improvement, now have leg and hip pain that was not present before. Face flushing constant. | In 2012 the FDA and the drug manufacturer said NOT to use in epidural shots. The doctors are using this off label. Had I known this I would never ever had this poison put in me. This can be in your body for up to 12 months. Doing whatever it pleases. | F | 53 | 1X O | 8/13/2013 | 1 | Severe allergies and migraines | Please help!!! I had a Kenalog injection in my left hip about 4 weeks ago. It did nothing- except give me hot flashes, sweating, worsening daily migraines- and horrible atrophy. Here's the thing: my RIGHT hip has a peach sized crater and bruise, a crater forming under right buttock, and one forming on the front of my right leg! The left side really hurts and can barely be touched. I have FM and am scared this could disable me! Has anyone else experienced this? | F | 39 | 1 times 40 MG | 7/18/2013 | 1 | suspected psoriatic arthritis | Mood swings, blurred vision, nausea, very heavy and very long menstrual periods, bled for 9 weeks with only a few day break. | Had this injection in April, since then almost constant periods, and about a month later very lethargic, tired, depressed, also blurred/irritable eyes. Feeling absolutely fed up. Was given to see if I had psoriatic arthritis, because not worked concluded I haven`t. Feel like I`ve been experimented on! | F | 36 | 1 years 1X O | 7/4/2013 | 1 | was given in hip for chronic pain | F | 50 | 1 days 40mg | 6/7/2013 |
