My first injection was 8-12-08 in my lumbar spine. It is still tender to touch and black and blue, but seems to be improving ever so slowly. I feel like I have the flu and have no energy. My back pain is worse and my legs feel weak when I stand for over 2 min. I have no interest in the things I loved to do before getting the Kenalog injection. I'm a retired RN, age 70, and can hardly believe that this is happening. Am I loosing my mind over this? It's very unlike me.

I received two Kenalog injections 24 hrs apart for severe poison ivy. I have not been able to sleep more than 2 hrs at a time for the last 15 days.

Kenalog-40 Chemical Information

triamcinolone acetonide - The acetonide salt form of triamcinolone, a synthetic glucocorticosteroid with immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory activity. Triamcinolone acetonide binds to specific cytosolic glucocorticoid receptors and subsequently interacts with glucocorticoid receptor response element on DNA and alters gene expression. This results in an induction of the synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory proteins while inhibiting the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators. Consequently, an overall reduction in chronic inflammation and autoimmune reactions are accomplished.
