Over 10 years ago I hurt my back being hit by a car. The Ortho gave me shots of corticosteriods every two weeks and this went on for 6 months. I went into premature menopause and was told, this caused bone loss as well"..I asked this new Ortho "to please not use steriods for this reason and because I now have premature thinning of my bones due to the misguided efforts of the 1st MD. Last week I had reinjured my back in 3 disks, I told the MD about all the side affects from before with injections, but he claimed this was different and new.. He claimed kenalog was "new and not what I had before". I had an intense headache immediately after the procedure and rapid heart beating ever since that hasn't gone away, and every time I lift my head I get the headache.It's been a week today and there is no positive change and still no call back to answer my worries. My BP is through the roof and I've never had high blood pressure in my life. My back still hurts me and he shot the tailbone area, after I asked him "NOT TO inject there because of previous nerve damage by MD #1 from 10 yrs. ago. NO MD will call me back and I'm worried I'll have a heart attack since this chest pain has increased and my PCP will not listen and neither will the Ortho who did the injection and he clearly lied about what it was or it's "new-ness".. anyone else have this painful heartbeat and bad headache after a shot, and when does the CFS headache go away??

If you are a woman or have a daughter PLEASE READ.......
Please be very careful before getting a Kenalog injection especially if you are a woman or for your daughter. In March my 13 year old daughter received one Kenalog injection for hay fever. Now almost 4 MONTHS later it is a 2 inch indentation with dark bruising all around it. She has also had her period the entire time with maybe a 1-2 day break between them. It has taken this long for the doctors to say the bleeding is from the Kenalog injection. I never would have allowed them to give this to her if I had known of these side effects. She has been put through test after test and no end in site. Now my 13 year old will have to go on birth control to stop the bleeding and there will prob. be side effects from that as well. I was shocked to find this site and now how many lives this drug is hurting. Now my daughter is suffering, all from 1 SHOT.
