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.

 1  hip pain I have not been able to take a deep breath since 3 days after the shot. It is like living in a non-stop panic attack. It has cost me thousands in missed work and tests that they did to me to find out why I can't breath. They don't believe it is the shot, but it all happened 3 days later. I can barely function. DO NOT TAKE THIS SHOT F 56 1 days

 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

 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

 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

 1  I received it for sorotic arthritis I received my injection in Dec 2016. By Feb I started my period now March 5th still having a period. Loose stool and a gold side indent in my arm just appeared 2 days ago. Very upset and scared. I'll never take this injection again. My doc said the bleeding is not from the shot and to contact my regular doc. I have read too many ladies having the same symptoms from the shot. I also just had a complete ladies intensive doc visit nothing is wrong. Well there was not until kenelog. I'm really praying my golf size indent in my left arm does not grow any bigger. I'll be calling FDA F 44 1 days

 1  Sinus I am four days from being 3months since I received Kenalog. I still am suffering from sever side effects to include: Extreme hair loss, depression, anxiety, night sweats , sever muscle spasms all over body, weight loss(which was the only benefit) cystic acne, insomnia and periods all month. Please do your homework on this as I too became a victim to a horrible malpractice. The Dr acted as though he had never heard of any of this before and basically told me he was a Dr with an high level of education and I didn't know what I was talking about. If I had the money to sue I would. Also, this is supposed to stay in your system for 3 to 6 months I am just hitting 3 months and been a very slight decrease in side affects. F 28 1 days
