Hello, My name is Karen and I received a Kenalog injection in my left arm for severe allergies. I was not told what the shot was at the time.
About a month after the injection, I noticed that injection site still appeared to be discolored, like a bruise kind of, and that I was developing a pea-sized indentation in my arm. I got concerned and scheduled an appointment with a different doctor at the same facility. By then, the pea-sized indentation had become a quater-sized indentation and it is very noticeable. The doctor said that the side effect is muscular atrophy and that it will continue to worsen. He virtually explained that there was little I could do about it. I heard him discuss the case with another doctor outside of the room He came back in and stated that the shot must have been outside of the muscular area, into the subcutaneous layer (which is fat tissue mostly). He said that a known side effect of Kenalog was subcutaneous tissue shrinkage like mine, and that it would fill back in within 2 months. It is painful and continues to deepen. :(

My mother started on Lipator about a year ago, she's been having shakes that last about 30 seconds in her legs and one arm. The shakes come and go and she can go a month without them but they seem to have gotten worst. She also has a hard time walking 4 out of days a week, she feels like her legs aren't under her. She is always tired and has restless leg,sometimes at night. She has respiratory problem that also seems to have gotten worst in the past year.
