Icy hot symptoms and conditions

I received the Kenalog shot in my right shoulder for joint pain that other meds could not resolve on September 13, 2007 (tomorrow will be one week ago) After the first 48 hours of injection I did experience the "typical" steriod type side effects being facial flushing, hot flashes, minor anxiety and slight insomnia on the first couple of nights after the injection. I have just recently noticed a hot/burning sensation on the outside of my right ankle, almost like I applied icy hot to that area. Never before have I experienced this, although it is not painful, it is a weird feeling. As I was first reading all of the other postings I immediately became overwhelmed with anxiety because I too asked my doctor the side effects and as all of the others have stated he said "One percent of patients get an infection in the injection site". That's it, he never said one single side effect. My question to all is that I haven't read anyones posting that states an onset time of the side effects they are experiencing. Am I to still expect more side effects? Has the Kenalog not be in my body long enough for the side effect to become apparent? Please advise! Thanks in advance for sharing such personal information with me. BTW- my shoulder pain has resolved for the time being but because of the now known REAL side effects of Kenalog- If I was to have to take this shot again to keep the pain from coming back- I choose the pain. My heart goes out to everyone who has had even the slightest negative side effect from this drug! LJONES/VA

So i went to the beach the other day and i was there for several hours and i felt this painful burning sensation throughout my whole body, especially in my hands and my thumbs felt really sore and bruised...i thought i was on fire it felt like i had icy hot all over my body...even getting out of the sun didnt seem to help...all i could do was wait it out and take cold showers...what seemed to help some was sitting in front of the fan but otherwise i felt helpless!....whatever you do stay out of the sun! I had spf 60 on and it doesnt make a difference.....

I have been taking levaquin for 4 days, after not having any sleep, severe hot/cold feelings, almost like being rubbed down with Icy Hot, shivering but sweating, leg cramps, metallic taste in mouth. Went to the Dr. and was told I was healing fine, (had 5 treatments to bust up a kidney stone with a stent inserted) and that he was at a loss for why I was feeling so bad. He made me feel aweful as though my sypmtoms were in my head. I am glad I found this forum, what a relief of mind!

I started taking doxycycline just 9 days ago,I couldn't believe it when I read these posts..I am having alot of the same symptoms as the rest of you. I have been getting sick to my stomach, no matter if i take it with food or not...more so if i don't take it with food. I have ringing in my ears..icy/hot flashes, headache and my eyes hurt. I am not sure if this med is worth all these side effects. I am taking it for adult acne. I also noticed that my face is quite red and sore to touch.I will give this med a month or two and if i don't see considerable improvement, i will stop taking it. I feel miserable.
