| 1 | frozen shoulder and trigger finger | Got a shot that rupturrd my left thumb ligament (need surgery to reconnect it with a pointing finger ligamennt), got a 2nd shot same day for left frozen shoulder that send me to er 4 times, high blood pressure, high sugar levels, chest pains, frozing cold feet, sweatting nights, blured vision, anxiety, burning hands forearmas and legs. Could not work for 6 months. Kenalog 40 is a poison but after talking to 4 lawyers no one wants to take the case saying AMA and its lawyers are just to powerfull. I never had those symptoms and before I had perfect blood pressure 120/78, that happened in 2013, symptomes just now are improving but now and then gets very bad. Cleansing my gall blader with drclarck.net/liverdetox has made a hugh difference. Hope one day we can count with a president, FDA and other government offices that actually protect us and not the big pockets that pay for politic campaigns. | Do your homework and inform yourself befor any treatment. Doctors and hospitals are a business who's #1 goal is money, not your best interest:Health. My daughter was in miami children hospital in observation for ONE night, the bill for bcbs ins? Almost 15 thousand dollars, for me? Almost 1200. She had bloodwork (all normal), iv saline water. Nothing more. 11AM, sir take her home she has nothig that we can find! | M | 56 | 1 days | 9/4/2016 | 3 | sinus inflammation after surgery | Sweating/anxiety pain in ovaries...worried about all that i am reading regarding horrible periods | I almost said No to my Dr when asked if he could give it. Now i wish i did. Reading all the other reviews is scaring me and i am not looking forward to never enedimg periods. If i could take back time i would. I am paranoid over taking this and that is obviously not helping. Hopefully it gets out of my system faster then normal:^( | F | 28 | 1 days 60 | 8/24/2016 | 1 | recommended by a physiatrist | Was injected into lower back for L4-L5 back pain/stenosis. Fell over when I got up. Plus 2 weeks later I started spotting dark blood after being menopausal for 3 years. Called OB/Gyn and went for a transvaginal U/S to ck endometrium for thickness of, it was <4 mm. Stopped bleeding after a week. Hope it doesn't start again, it has been a month since the shot. Gynecologist said shot most likely caused bleeding but wants to see me in a month to make sure my uterine lining is thin to r/o cancer. He may want to do a biopsy. After reading all of the bleeding problems I am pretty sure the shot caused the bleeding but worry about cancer of the endometrium. I do not recommend getting this shot if you're a woman. It has not done anything to help my spinal stenosis symptoms either. Frankly, the doctor lied, he said there were no side effects with this shot. My insurance company paid over $1,000 for this injection, not to mention all of the tests they did, the 2 mri's cost over$6,000 at a NYC hospital. They make lots of money from these shots with not much benefit imo. | I do not recommend getting this shot for spinal stenosis, it doesn't do anything for the condition. I had a lot of stress when I started postmenopausal abnormal bleeding, do not recommend this shot for women. | F | 56 | 1 days | 8/19/2016 | 4 | Ecezema | Fluid in the ear, back stiffness | I was given Kenalog 10 by dermatologist to treat eczema that developed due to premenopause. It clear my skin but as a bonus cleared my hot flashes. I started going once every 3-4 months but I switched physicians and was given Kenalog but went back 4 months later due to hot flashes and sporadic eczema breakouts but this time she advised not to take Kenalog due possible bad side effects for osteoporosis and Hip dysplasia due to the steroid attacks the hip bone. I agreed not to receive it but now I want it!!! I rather deal with other issues than hot flashes!!! Somebody PLEASE hurry up and find a cure for menopause and it's symptoms. | F | 45 | 1 years 40mg 1X AN | 7/21/2016 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Large dent (atrophy) at injection site with bruising. Works great for hay fever but it cost me a large portion of my ass. Dr says will never go away | Administered properly is medication is wonderful for hay fever. If not can cause severe atrophy there are several lawsuits going on right now regarding this people have already won them | M | 36 | 6 months ? Was not | 6/30/2016 | 1 | pain management dr. | I started Nov 2015 ..I have been going to a pain management doctor since 2007 and he recommended that I get cervical epidurals because my neck was really bad from a car wreck, and he recommended that I also get caudal epidural in my lower back... I had a lot of lower back problems, and it affected my legs ...Please don't do this Steroid. I was getting injections every 3 to 4 months for eight and a half years and I can't even tell you what it's done to me trying to function without the steroid is horrible...right now I can't even Raise Myself up out of the bed to walk ...my body wants the steroids so bad, but I had to stop doing it because something went wrong during my last epidural in my neck Nov 2015 I was in the hospital for 4 days they kept insisting it didn't have anything to do with the shots it had everything to do with with My Anastasia... because I've been getting the epidural steroids for so long my other doctor that I'm seeing now says that my body forgot how to make it some steroid and I have a broken metabolism because of it and I forget they're checking me for Cushing's disease right now because of prolonged steroids if you get this steroids do not do it for very long I should have stopped and no longer than three or four years in but I kept asking my doctor was I hurting anything and he kept telling me no. | do not do this Kenalog steroid | F | 53 | 9 years 80 milligr | 6/26/2016 | 1 | Injection Hip | Photosensitivity and Flu still going on a week later | F | 55 | 40 1X day | 6/24/2016 | 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 | 2 | Left Hip Bursitis and Trigger point | constant nausea and full feeling, loose stools, cramping stomach, fatigue, headache, difficulty focusing, tenderness down outer thigh. No redness or swelling, and pain in bursa has improved. | I phoned the Pain Mgmt office to let them know I will NOT be taking any more injections due to flu-like symptoms and it affecting my work (can't call in, but not very productive). They said "Huh, we've never heard of anyone having those problems". No, just me. And every other person I've spoken to since taking it... And you do this for a living? | F | 47 | 30 days 40 mg 1X AN | 6/2/2016 | 1 | Misdiagnosed with allergies itching | I was given kenlog injection due to itching in which later I find out was scabies. After 2 months of having the shot I noticed a sharp pain in my butt when I looked it was a small dent. I thought maybe I laid on something wrong. After time it got bigger and pain worse. I can't play with my kids walk sit work without hurting. Now a year later my dent is still getting bigger and I was informed that I now have nerve damage that gives me sharp pain in my groin and thigh and I feel like someone is stabbing my dented area. This medicine is dangerous and not only was this not the right medicine but now I am constantly in pain after I was told by my doctor with time it would improve instead I am having more complications | This medicine should not be used without informing individuals of the possible affects I was not informed ANYTHING ABOUT THE SIDE EFFECTS | F | 27 | 1 years | 5/20/2016 | 1 | kenalog 10 for foot numbness | Kenalog 10 ruined my foot. Had bunionectomy year prior, then strange sporadic numb feeling and hyper-sensitivity in foot underneath. Went to see 2nd physician at same office where 1st surgeon perfomed bunionectomy a year prior. I told him that I felt strange numb feeling that went away when I rode my bike or pressed under the arch of my foot, and that I couldn't wear heels without pain. I was told that I would be able to wear heels painfree following bunionectomy. I had two screws in my foot though. 2nd doctor had me have CT scan that came back positive as Morton's neuroma, yet I had no pain in my foot, just hyper-sensitivity when barefoot outside and when wearing socks with hard plastic bumps/spa socks. I was pressured by the doctor to get corticosteroid injection. I said I didn't want any tissue damage and I knew that steroids cause tissue damage. He said "there would be no tissue damage", I asked if he thought the injection would help so that my foot felt "normal" | REMOVE THIS AND HELP US SUE! | F | 56 | 1 days 10 1X O | 5/20/2016 | 1 | Knee bursitis | 1 week of 24/7 migraines. Then heart palpitations, lack of sleep, post menopausal bleeding, cramps, aches and pains, trouble thinking, decreased immunity--very bad upper respiratory infection, hot flashes, nausea--all still going on more than 4 months later. Feeling somewhat better now but had I known of these side effects would never have had the shot. No warning, no information sheet, no way of knowing how this would go. | File a complaint form with the FDA www.fda.gov/reportinghelp or call FDA at 1-855-543-3784. Please let the Food and Drug Administration know what side effects this injection causes. And your doctor's office also!!!

Blurry vision, can't focus on signs when driving get vertigo just trying to read them. Went to my acupuncture lady yesterday. Told her about the shot and side effects. I use a cup for my periods and it was empty after work and this morning empty. I suggest any women having same side effect to go to a GOOD acupuncture treatment. So far it's only been a day, wish I could keep you posted but I'd try accupunture instead of more pharmas like birth control to control cycles. Birth control was always a guinea pig routine for me too. This shot is making me turn to more and more natural cures. Wow. | DO NOT CHOOSE THIS ONE, SIDE EFFECTS WILL MAKE YOU SORRY YOU DID. | F | 35 | 2 months 40mg | 4/30/2016 | 3 | herniated disc | Sever headache with ear heaviness fever and chills | Better to avoid it despite its advantages | M | 29 | 6 days 40 mg | 4/29/2016 | 3 | Injection | Well it takes the pain away little for hernia disc but after injection next day stmoch muscle tighten and feels body flush warm feeling but after couple days Gos away | M | 53 | 1 months | 4/16/2016 | 4 | Joint swelling from Auto Immune | Sunburn like rash on face and neck. Hiccups | Even with the reaction, I am in a lot less discomfort. The benefit outweighed the downside of having a reaction. | F | 54 | 1 days 40 1X day | 4/15/2016 | 1 | Allergies | 1-80MG shot of Kenalog for my bothersome allergies. Two days after shot, started bleeding. Thought I started early but umm going on 6 weeks now. Headaches, fatigue, body aches, severe abdominal pain, dizziness and blurred vision. I'd of rather dealt with allergies which are still bothering me. ZERO RELIEF W/ ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS. | I should of said, No to the shot but I trust my doctor as I've been seen her for years. I'm just wondering if these amazing side effects will go away. It has affected my life via my ability to work and care for my son. I'm calling doctors office as this is now going on the 6th week of all the symptoms I listed. I don't believe after reading any of the other posts, I'll obtain the magical "It will go away" answer. I don't recall being a guinea pig for the pharmaceutical company. | F | 42 | 1 days 80MG 1X O | 4/3/2016 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | This shot created havoc on my system. I started my period a week early and had continous bleeding on and off for 3 months. The bleeding would vary from bright red to dark and from heavy flow to spotting. I had major hormonal imbalance leading to anxiety, depression and nervousness. I wasted 6 months of my life trying to figure out what was wrong with me until I came across many websites with people sayig they had similar experience. If you are a woman and experiencing these symptoms, dont panic. Wait till the shot clears from your system. I made rounds of many obgyns and doctors and went through extreme testings to be told nothing is wrong but also it could not be the shot. But I know it was the shot that caused my menstrual irregularity. I also had a big dent in my arm where the shot was goven which filled up 6 months later. | Do not take this shot | F | 28 | 1 days 40 | 3/25/2016 |
