ReplyDeleteI got a shot for kenalog spring of 08 and of 09 for severe allergies. The kenalog worked for the allergies, but i now have a dent in my butt cheek that has seemed to come out of knowhere. Does anyone think it could be the kenalog and also what should i do? Im a little bit worried about this because it seems to be getting larger. any thoughts
ReplyDeleteI had a kenalog shot in september 15th 2009, it is now October 19th and I am just starting to"come ot of it" I have had almost every side effect stated ecept menstral bleeding, I have been in menopause for 4 years. I have had severe head aches fevers seating profusly, fatigue, confusion, changes in vision neck spsms seizures, leg cramp, muscle pain and spasms, mood swings, totally unable to function. Life has been hell, much worse than the respitory problems I received the shot for, I asked about side effects and was assured it was less potent than treatment with oral steroids. I haave a rare disease called Lymphgiomyomatosis orLAM. also other respitory diseases. I had strng reactions to oral steroids, nothing like this terifying shot has been, I thought the pain would never end, I am still experincing side effects but they have let up enough to know my name. My PCP treated me like I was nuts, my pulminoligest said I might have a sinus infection,but has not checked up on my condition. This has been a nightmare!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a six year old daughter who was injected in the hip back in March '09. She was having an allergic reaction to sulfa. Due to the shot she now "tiny little girl" has a hole the size of a golf ball in her hip. I feel as she gets older we will have to have plastic surgery to correct it. The scary part is it continues to grow. When does it stop!!! And also with a six year old how do you know what else is bothering her? Just hope this medicine gets pulled off the market. Doesn't seem to be good for anyone.
ReplyDeleteIm 20yrs old and pregnant, I have this "hole" in my hipalong with depression and mood swings. I've been to 5 diffrent doctors, 6 counting my ob/gyn and all of them just look at it like "what the...??" and tell me they dont know what it is and it couldnt be from the shot. And I know it is. But what I want to know is when does it quit getting bigger? Will this effect my baby and my labor because of the pain im in? Will i have to get plastic surgery? And how do i get a doctor to believe me that this shot caused this? If any one out there can give me some answers I would appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteHi, I am 16 years old and i noticed today a indent on my left shoulder exactly where i had gottent the KENALOG shot. I have been taking the injection in June and again in August for a allergic prevenative to Mosquitos. If i do not take the shot i will have hard of breathing when i have about 20 mosquito bites or more. I have an Epi Pen as worse case scenarios. I am most frustrated with my Doctor, Our doctors are supposed to be looking out for our health and safety. By Prescribing us drugs that they do not know all the side effects of how are they doing there duties as a Doctor? I am nervous, i have never had anything like this before and and the more im reading im hearing it'll only get worse before it gets better. I am not sure why, BUT FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS TAKEN THIS INJECTION NEEDS TO KNOW EVERY SIDE EFFECT, EVEN THE MOST RAREST!!!!
ReplyDeleteDear, 20yrs old and Pregnant... I am sure the pain will not hurt you during the pregnancy or the baby.I am not sure when it'll quit growing, as i just discovered mine today. If the Astrophy continues and leaves an indent where you are self concious of then i say within 2-3 years consult your doctor, it is suppose to grow back within 6 months to 2 years. I have an appt with my doc on wednesday. I will share what i hear them.
I too have a large atrohpy left from the shot, it also has a dark scar to it. How do we contact a lawyer?

I was first given this shot in Jan of 2008 for allergies because my doctor said he gave it to his mother in law every 5-6 months and it was a cureall. I had my period for 2 1/2 months and he denied it was for the shot. My OB GYN said it was a rare side effect and it eventually went away.
ReplyDeleteFast forward to the first weekend in Januray 2010 when my 8 year old daughter and I were having an allergic reaction to bug bites. Without knowing, the on call doctor gave us both a shot of Kenalog. thank goodness she doesnt appear to have any reactions, but when I got my period this month it lasted 8 days rather than 4. And it restarted again a few days later. I have also had symptoms that my doctor thinks is acid reflux. I'm scheduled for a physical on March 1st but I'm concerned that he doesn't think it has anything to do with the drug. When obviously the weird taste I get in my mouth, the pangs of pain, the acid reflux symptoms such as bloating etc and the constant period all started a few weeks after the injection I got unknowingly.
I'm concerned the person with the class action suit hasn't posted since July 2009 but I'd love to get this off the market. I'll never get an injection again without knowing exactly what it is. Its sad you can't trust your doctors, especially when you have been overall healthy until you get their perscribed injection.

Ditto, had the shot about 3 months ago in my left butt cheek and now have a 'dent' which seems to be getting larger. I started getting concerned and did not know where to turn. Just like everyone else, had I known I never would of allowed my doctor to adminster the shot. I'm horrified and mostly concerned it will never return to normal. michelleb@neb.rr.com
ReplyDeleteMy 11 year old daughter has a large indentation at her injection site. Help. have googled until sick while hole getts larger. Seen dermotolgist but no help.. Don't know what to do. She had posion ivy so here Dr. ordered a steriod shot not a difiguring shot.
ReplyDeleteI had a kenalog injection 3 weeks ago for lower back pain. I had the most excruiciating leg cramps which made me cry and physically vomit with the pain for over 6 days almost non stop! I did not sleep at all in that time. I have also started my period 3.5 weeks early!!!!! I have been regular as clockwork for the last 17 years and my GP said it was coincidence. It seems more than coincidence for this to happen a week after the shot. I have also been menstruating for 8 days now, when I ususally have it only for 4 days. I wonder when this will stop?? I have also started having bad headaches - I never had headaches before - ever!

ReplyDeleteI took an injection of kenalog 40 for a keloid scar. I had no idea what was to ensue. this was about three weeks ago. I started shaking uncontrollably about a week later. The fatigue is so overwhelming I have been in the ER x 2. crying all the time. depressed. Anxiety beyond anxiety. I hurt all over this must be what fibromyalgia feels like. this is four weeks post bypass surgery (that is when the keloid formed. Now if i can survive bbypass surgery and can not function after this kenalog shot this drug has to be taken off the market stat. I think i read on bristol meyers where 9 people have died from this (not sure of that). I pray it comes out of my system soon. I am exhausted. my hormones have been checked and they are completely messed up now. I am going to have my adrenal and thyroid checked on tuesday. until then mostly all i can do is rest and pray. God help anyone who takes this drug. I am an RN and have never seen anything like this on a mass scale. Reading the web I can't understand why they have not removed this from the market. If anyone knows how soon this will be out of my system please let me know chrisgorton@mac.com - the doctor told me she gave me the highest dose she could give me at one time. I dont know how much that was. Am due for the second set of shots in two weeks - UH THAT WOULD BE NO WAY - please keep me informed of any lawsuit against this drug.
ReplyDeleteI received an injection of Kenelog 40 for allergies in 1993! My periods stopped for two months, and within 48 hours of shot began to experience severe, bizarre headaches that eventually developed into facial pain within 2 weeks. I have struggled with pain, medications, been to Johns Hopkins Pain Clinic, etc. I am now 55 years old, and have lived with the side effects (so rare my doctor told me there were not any) only to see posts now. They are still giving it with the same attitude. I will help finding lawyers etc. Let me know @Jennyjreisn@aol.com. This is altered my life since the age of 33 in every possible way.
ReplyDeleteI have horrible scarring and skin thinning from Kenalog injections. Now the scarring and skin thinning is beginning to cause discomfort. They tell you it's temporary but this should not be getting worse if it's temporary. I look like I have a deformity from these injections. I also was very lightheaded, dizzy after the injections and had to sit for some time after having the shot. Menstrual cycle affected as well. Was told it was safe to have 3 of these shots in a very short period of time. Would never do it again and sorry I did.
ReplyDeleteI recieved this shot also and have many of the same side affects that are mentioned. I am very depressed and un happy. I just want to be me again!!!
ReplyDeleteI just recently had an allergy shot in Septemner 2010 and noticed a couple of months later I have an indentation on my right butt cheek! It's horribly ugly - considering my butt is my favorite asset. Will this go away eventually? I am HORRIFIED!
ReplyDeletei received this shot about three weeks ago and I have experienced some of the side effects. I am terrified as well. Just contacted my doctor and see what she has to say.
ReplyDeletefirstly, I'm so sorry to everyone who has experienced even one of these side effects...we should have been told what horrible things this drug does, not just the benefits :( I'm horrified! I rec'vd the shot in sept. 2010 for a bout of hives. within a week or two I developed major headaches & throbbing pain in upper buttock (injection site) that traveled down my thigh into my leg, I'm always thirty now & have a strange taste in my mouth, odd mood swings tiredness & just not my typical active self in general, as well as overall muscle weakness. Now just 2 days ago I noticed I have a deep discolored golf ball size indent at injection site...at least now I know why! :( this is completely unacceptable!
ReplyDeleteI have had the same problems from a Kenalog shot I received last spring, and I am very interested in getting a class action suit together. It has deformed my hip, given me horrible headaches, stomach problems, menstrual and female problems, mood swings, depression. I have gone to a lot of doctors for all of this, but I didn't realize it was the shot until I found the large dent in my left hip. Please feel free to contact me about this. If no one else is going to get this together, I will start contacting attorneys. email m7peace@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI will join too! I am so pissed! My mom and I both got the shots and have deformed painful dimples. I have done a lot of modeling and was getting back into it and am so embarrassed more from this disgusting, ugly, discolored, hole on my back just above my butt please contact me. Renee.e.walters@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI am struggling with the fallout right now. Did this ever go anywhere? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have been given the kenalog shot in my right hip. I was given 1 shot every 6 months staring in 2006 and ending 2010 and I didn’t start noticing anything till 2007 my right leg started to get fat above the knee I went in and the Dr stated that there was nothing wrong and now 4 years later and thousands of dollars they found that my right hip, thigh , knee, and calf are about 4” (bigger , wide ) and I have seen about 10 specialist, cardiologist, lymphadiema specialists, and it is all caused by the shot as well as many other problems.
ReplyDeleteI also had 1 Injection of Kenalog in 2010 for some allergy issues. Over the last 2 months I have noticed a dent in my left buttock. At first I thought I was crazy. I have had no injuries and had no idea where it came from. I did some research online to avoid the doctor for an embarrassing problem. I am so glad I discovered what really happened. I was not warned about this side affect! I would have never had this shot had I known this. Please include me in this law suite too! lhosmane@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteMy wife noticed i have the same dent as everyone else here. she found this site after doing a lot of research on what could be causing it. I too was not warned about the possible side effects of the shot. Please include me in the law suite.
ReplyDeletethank you for all your efforts so far and please let me know if there is anything i can do to help.

Hi, I had the Kenalog injection in december 2011 and just after 4 months I noticed a dent in my butt and is getting worst every day, I'm really worried because I don't know if is going to stop at some point or will get even worst, has someone got better from this with excersice, or something? please help!!!
ReplyDeleteHi , I had this shot once in March '11 and again in April '11 for pain relating to my coccyx bone. The injection was made into the lower spine and left buttock. Although i have not yet had a dent, I am very terrified of getting one. Can these dents form months after the injections?
ReplyDeleteThe biggest problem i have had , is the continuous bleeding . menstrual cycle. I have a period 2 or 3 times per month. And its been 4 months now. The bleeding can only be controlled with medication. I cannot commit to a lifetime of medication. And i want to know how long this poison will stay in my system and why were they allowed to use this on me?
The doctors , both spinal surgeon and gynaecologist do not believe its related to the Kenalog. But I know it is. I am not crazy. I have only experienced these problems since I had these Kenalog shots.
I will never take these again. I strongly advise against having them.
They should be removed from the market altogether, they are not worth it.
Please email me if you have similar problems or can advise me further. thank you

When I saw this blog I had to tell my story to everyone... I was out of work sick the week of March 28th 2011 through April 1st 2011 with flu-like symptoms... I made me a doctors appt and went... The doctor examined me and told the nurse to administer a Kenalog shot 40mg... I thought nothing of it I was so sick all I wanted to do was just feel better.... So she gave the shot in the upper part of my right arm and I went on home thinking I was going to be ok now... Well after bout a week I had some bruising on my arm but thought nothing of that either due to some injections cause that . However week after week went on and it was still there and very sore to touch... so I made me another doctors appt to see the doctor about this and also some sinus problems I was having.. He said he didn't know exactly why I still had this bruise and it could take up to 6mths for it to completely go away ... well today is July 4th,2011... And It is still there, purple and black and hurts like you wouldnt believe to touch it... the second visit I went to see the doctor when he proceeded to lead me out of the exam room he stopped midway in the hall and called another one of the nurses over to me and pointed out the bruise and asked her opinion and he had no idea why it was still there either. And the doctors reply was "DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD CALL THE MANUFACTURER??" I replied "Well its a little too late for that seeing how I HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN THE SHOT!" So he said well maybe it will go away, and I left the office.... I had mentioned to the doctor while in the exam room that I had read up on these shots and so many had posted about bruises not going away and he just sat there and looked at me funny.. Its almost like he was already aware of this... I have had bad headaches since this and just feeling bad all over... Someone needs to put a stop to this ... you cant tell me doctors aren't aware of the problems this injection is causing... but yet they keep on giving these shots to patients.... When is a lawyer going to step up to the plate and do the right thing and stop this ....???? Some of these side effects are severe enough to cost someone their life .... Is it worth that to let this go on and on..... ???
ReplyDeleteI have a long history of depression and am/have been taking Zoloft, 100 mg. On June 3rd, 2011 I went to my PCP with a swollen upper lip - apparently an allergic reaction to something, and Benedryl didn't help like it usually does when this happens (and it happens on a rare occasion - not sure what the specific cause was). My doctor gave me a shot of Kenalog, 60 mg, in my buttocks. He did not discuss any possible side effects with me. My doctor was well aware of my depression history, and at that same appt I requested that my Zoloft dosage be increased. He increased it to 150 mg, but did not inquire further as to my current mental state. I had been having passing, not serious, suicidal thoughts for the past couple months, but no plan or serious thoughts of it.
ReplyDeleteThe following Monday morning, June 6th, I attempted suicide by swallowing a handful of lorazapam. My employer tracked my 22 year old son down to go check on me, and he found me - drugged out of my mind and called 911. I was in ICU for 2 days and the mental health ward for 3. I don't have any memory of the first few days in the hospital.
Since then, my therapist has mentioned to me twice that the Kenalog shot probably contributed to the sudden plummet of my mood. I then did some internet research on side effects and found that one of the side effects is mood changes, and even suicidal thoughts. I since found out that the overdose of lorazapam alone would not have killed me.
I have 2 thoughts that go thru my head now. The first is that I would not have attempted suicide if I had not received that Kenalog shot, and the second is that if I would have had alcohol in my house I would have drank it with the pills - and would be dead now.
I'm now on Zoloft and Wellbutrin and am doing much better - thankfully. I'm glad to be alive! I contacted an attorney, but he said that he wouldn't be able to find a physician who would testify to cause and effect. I sure can though. I can be reached at gina.a.pless@gmail.com
I received a kenalog injection in my hip about 2 years ago for allergies. I ended up with what looked like a bruise that lasted over a month, I now have permanent discoloration and a huge indent in my hip which is very embarrassing. I recently got diagnosed with MS and take weekly injections and I am unable to use my hip bc of all the scar tissue from the kenalog injection my MS med can not disperse properly from the scar tissue and causes constant pain in that area for a few days. Please contact me at justjordn@aol.com if anyone knows what's going on with the lawsuit. Thank u
ReplyDeleteWell, I've been noticing a progressing crater/dent on my right butt cheek. It feels like an annoying muscle ache like when you get a shot. Well then it hit me, I went to an arthritis doctor back in Feb 2011 and they gave me a shot "for energy and inflammation", in my right butt cheek. I wasn't told about any possible side effects, just that maybe this will help my joint pains and give you more energy. I first noticed the "dent" about 2 or 3 months after the shot but didn't connect the dots until now after searching on the internet and reading all this horrible stuff that others are experiencing too. I went into my Blue Cross insurance file to see what the name of the shot was that I received and it is Kenelog (Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection).!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI never even thought that this shot may have been the reason for all my monthly period issues!!!! I was having 2 to 3 periods a month, hot flashes and sweats, this ache in my right butt cheek and a bruise at the injection site that took FOREVER to go away. I even went to the gynecologist and had a D&C done because my doc didn't know why else I'd be having such cycle issues. My crater/dent is still aching and seems to be getting larger. It shows through my clothes. It is so embarrassing, especially having my boyfriend seeing it...ugh. I am so traumatized by this.
What do you suggest I do?? Should I go report this to the doctor that injected me?? Should I go see a lawyer??
Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

I have been in menopause for about 1 1/2 years. I got a shot, 80mg of Kenalog about 2 weeks ago and now have started menstrual bleeding. Anyone else had this effect?
ReplyDeleteWhat is with these doctors that don't tell you anything just make it all sound so promising yet did not tell me it was a steroid. I got this shot yesterday, he only asked if I was diabetic and how were my feet. Did not ask if I was pregnant or any other thing responding to hormones. This is Bull I am not happy and who is this Lawyer I want to speak to them.
ReplyDeletePlease let me know if you have a class action started. I have been injured by this drug. Atrophy at sight of injection is horrible and stiffness and pain in my right hip is an everyday all day occurence. This is not fair...needs to be taken off the market before many,many others are hurt by this. (there had to have been a safer med for me..I had a sinus infection!) Jodyfrenchmom@yahoo.com Please give me an update!
ReplyDeleteApproximately five months ago, I had an allergic reaction to a facial
ReplyDeletecream and woke the following morning with severe swelling of the face which was traveling down my neck. I contacted the doctor, went to her office and after an exam was given a kenalog injection in my left deltoid area. Four months later I noticed a dimpling in that arm but didn't immediately connect the two.=20
I have relocated back to TN and went to my doctor last week as I thought this increasing in size dimpling of my deltoid very suspicious. An MRI was ordered actually was to have today but last night after reading all the reports about kenalog and the side effects, I feel I am indeed another who has suffered from kenalog and am left with an increasing in size dimpling of my left deltoid. I was never informed and never signed a consent making me aware of the possible lasting side effects.
Needless to say, I will cancel the MRI scheduled today as I know now the cause of my disfigurement. I would agree that Kenalog needs to be taken off the market and am interested in participating in any action. Please inform me if this suit still exists and if so what steps I need to take.
Thanks
my girlfriend just got a kenolog 40 shot for her allergies and now shes havign problems with her period and shes depressed and most of all has a golf ball size crater on her butt cheek i feel so bad for her.
ReplyDeleteSOmething needs to be done for all the victims of this drug
My former wife and I took kenalog for allergies. We were not warned of any side effects and we asked.
ReplyDeleteThe following year my former wife's right tricep broke loose from the bone. Later, her left broke lose from the bone. Our new doctor told us that it was from the Kenalog shots.
A year or so later my right tricep broke loose and just two years ago my left broke loose. According to the doctors Kenalog is responsible for weakening the connecting tissue causing the tricep to break loose.
I'd love to sue those yahoos!

I am in the process of meeting with a lawyer for my indentation. I got my Kenalog shot in May 2011. I will keep you guys updated.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of filler do you need to fill the indentation?
ReplyDeleteI got Kenalog shot in June, this indentation started in September, email me with info hlang919@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI too have a dent in my right butt cheek. I received a Kenalog shot Aug/Sept 2011 and it is now jan 2012 and I have a good size dent.. You can push down like the tissue has just been eaten away. There is a hole in my butt cheek. This is very embarassing considering I do modeling/acting. Please let me know about a lawsuit if anyone has any info... ashbrookeparker@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI found this site tonight while searching for issues with my menstrual cycle after taking the shot. I've gladly asked for the Kenalog shot every January the last few years because of horrible allergies to Cedar in Texas. Last year I noticed the dimple in my buttocks. I mentioned it to my doctor this year and she supposedly had never heard of that. She simply asked the nurse to be very careful about injecting it slowly this year. In addition to that, I have been very irregular in my cycle since receiving the shot the first week of Jan. I am a 28 days on the DOT kind of gal, and last cycle was 40 days between, then the period lasted 8 days, compared to normal 5. Tonight, I got my period again, after only 20 days. This is very strange for me and had me quite worried. Additionally, while I haven't had headaches, I have been extremely tired... complained to my family and closest friends about it, and have been a lot moodier than normal. But I figured that was because I was tired and life changes going on in life. I had NO idea how bad this drug was until tonight. I will not get one of these shots again. Who knows what is going to to happen in 10 years if this stuff is still in our systems. Scary.
