| 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 | 1 | Rash-allegies | Hot flushes, dizziness, weakness, insomnia for two days, then total energy drain, stomach and bowel upset, no appetite, racing heart, anxiety | I don't think we appreciate the "duh" comment from the respondent who had no side effects. Lucky you. I am a well educated professional and asked all the appropriate questions of my PC provider. Some people's chemical make-up, just isn't built to tolerate some drugs. Be careful with your rude comments. Just because you didn't have a reaction, doesn't give you the right to be self-righteous. If you were suffering as we are, your perspective would be very different; but then wisdom is only reserved for the mature. | F | 54 | 1 days 40 | 3/25/2016 | 1 | Si joint pain | I received one injection on December 10-2015 and my nightmare began. Started with anxiety and insomnia, one week later I developed stomach and bowel issues. Indigestion, constant belching, acid reflux, nausea, racing heart, dizziness, leg weakness, flushing, very painful back pain, no appetite, weight loss, blurred vision, depression, and non bacterial cystitis. Was healthy until the day I received that horrible injection, had pain in si joint but now my health has gone downhill fast. Doctor of course denies cortisone related, but how can all this happen so quickly after that poison was put in my body? Is all this just a coincidence? What are the chances of all these issues happening without that one thing they injected in my body? Seems fairly clear to me. It's been 3 months of a total nightmare, which isn't ending. Cannot work, and am bed ridden for the most part. | Why are we not told about possible side effects? I mean ALL the side effects or even possible side effects . | F | 1X day | 3/8/2016 | 4 | Allergies. | None. | It is very humorous the amount of complaints from people regarding the normal side effects of all steroids. Do your research before going to the doctor. Or ask more questions about the drug insert to review before accepting it. Duh! | F | 43 | 1 days | 3/6/2016 | 1 | Rotator Cuff Tear | Constant menstrual bleeding and dull headache, stomach cramps and debilitating migraines. Severe mood disturbances, feelings of despair and desperation. General confusion and mental numbness. | As i'm not ovulating due to the effect it's had on my menstrual cycle, it has destroyed my chances of conceiving any time soon and who knows how long it will be before my cycle gets back to normal, if at all. If i'd have known more about the side effects, i'd never have had this injection. There should have been more information provided to me, i just thought i was having an injection to reduce the inflammation, i didn't realise it would cause such an adverse reaction. | F | 33 | 40 1X O | 3/5/2016 | 1 | Shoulder pain | Fatigue, muscle cramps in feet, hands, and calfs,2 and a half week late period, followed by 6 days of spotting and so far on day 9 of mensuration,irritability,mood swings, face swelling, night sweats and hot flashes. | I was not made aware of any of these side effects. The pain only went away for a few days and the side effects have been horrible. I wish I didn't get the injections. | F | 32 | 1 days | 2/25/2016 | 1 | Injury to back and hips | It was poison to my system and exaggerated all of my pain areas. Having continuous fainting feeling a month down the road. Pain is worse than before. | F | 55 | 1 days Injections | 1/31/2016 | 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 | 1 | Problem with Broken tailbone | Initially seemed ok but gradually got a rash on my lower spine and where tailbone is. Still Miserable after a month or more. Constant redness, Itching and pain. I can barely sit. Worse pain than the broken bone. | F | 52 | 1 days | 12/5/2015 | 2 | injection for osteoarthritis in kne | Shortness of breath, severe headache, elevated blood pressure, unable to bend knee, and swelling near injection site | F | 48 | 1X AN | 11/19/2015 | 4 | Allergies | horrible menstrual bleeding and clotting. 1 full month of bleeding. Last time (5 yrs ago) I took it, I had 3 months bleeding. | completely got rid of my awful allergies for 3 months. | F | 44 | 1 days 40 | 11/14/2015 | 2 | injured at work right hip leg | Headache cramping in the bones of my hip and right leg locks of menstrual bleeding severe bleeding lots of cramping severe pain in my groin | 50 | 10 days 30 millig | 11/2/2015 | 1 | Off Label | Burning, numb PAIN R leg and foot, same side as injection, spread to R foot 2 months after Depot Injection. | Has anyone had this injection and had the side effects go away yet, or is this going to last the rest of my life? It has been almost a year since I got that one 200 mg injection of Kenalog-40. The burning and numbness is still there. Been having nocturnal foot cramps, terrible anxiety is getting some better, still shake, trouble sleeping. Memory is improving. Been pretty much in the house for a year except to go to Doctors. All this started immediately after injection. | M | 63 | 200 mg 1X day | 11/1/2015 | 1 | Right shoulder pain | 3 week long period, depression, diziness, headaches, fatigue, no pain relief at all. | I received 10 kenalog injections at one time for myofacial pain in the right shoulder. DO NOT USE THIS MEDICATION. THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE HORRIBLE AND NOT WORTH IT. | F | 37 | 1 days 40 mg | 10/25/2015 | 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 | 2 | brittle ashma | Very sore mouth taste like metal can't taste food pain in the chest | I have been given kenalog for my brittle ashma every 5 weeks since using it I have had a very sore mouth unable to taste food with a metal sensation also hard to swallow also lot of swelling im my arms | F | 42 | 1 months 40mg | 10/11/2015 | 1 | Left Should pain | I had one shot of 80 Mg into left shoulder and it destroyed my life. I suffered every adverse reaction in the endocrine system, could not breath and nearly went to the ER the day after and then spiraled down from there. It is has been one year since the injection and I am still feeling ill. Every doctor I saw in an effort to understand what was happening to me said, "Oh it could not possibly be the Kenalog" even though I presented them with the adverse reaction report which makes false claims, along with the false claims on Bristol Meyers web site, that the potential for adrenal suppression can happen but only for 30 days. The FDA then made them change that language to a few months which they did not do on their web site. It turned out I was suffering from a total shut down of my adrenals or HPA access meaning I had "temporary adrenal insufficiency" for over 6 months technically but I can tell you that I still feel sick. I felt like I had the flu, was unable to men | Bristol Meyers and the FDA have underplayed the risks of this medication and I agree there should be a class action lawsuit here. It is used too freely without patients understanding the real health risks. I lost a year of my life from one shot and still crawling back with symptoms that no one can solve. | F | 53 | 80 mg 1X O | 10/11/2015 |
