I got my Decadron injection on Oct 17th. My period came 4 days late on the 25th and it never left. It has now been 3 weeks of bleeding. Has anyone else had similar experience? The side effects list menstrual irregularity, but 3 weeks? It is not showing any sign of slowing down either.
I've seen alot of info on Kenalog and bleeding long and that is a steroid as well.

I had this injection for a slipped disk in my L5 lumbar spine. I am a healthy 31 year old female. I had hair growth and non stop periods. I had 4, 9 day periods in 2 months and I now have anemia and low sodium. After going to the gynecologist and running a bunch of tests on me, it has now been confirmed that only the Kenalog shot could have been responsible for this. They had to put me on birth control pills to stop this and now I have side effects from that too. From what I see others have had this side effect too and I believe this is much more than just a menstrual irregularity! I have also gained weight (15lbs) eventhough I was slender, eating very healthy, and exercising everyday.The doctors who gave me this shot said that it wouldn't affect me like other corticosteroids, but apparently they were very wrong. I am definitely letting the FDA know this.

I have had my kenalog shot last April '08 for allergy relief. After a few months, I have noticed an indention and discoloration where the needle was injected; it is an ugly sight. After reading this article, I could assume that my menstrual irregularity, my period would come twice a month, was also another side affect of Kenalog.
