I have been revceiving injections in my right buttocks for eczema the past 1.5 years (every 6 weeks). Since I started this, my menstrual cycle has been irregular. It would come for 1 week, stop for 1 week, then come back for 2 weeks. For the past week and a half, I've had this pain in my leg. It definitely isn't muscle, but more bone pain. I told my primary doctor that I haven't changed anything in my lifestyle. But I did tell her about the injections and she was shocked that I've been getting them for such a long time. Supposedly it can cause osteoporosis over a long period of time, along with the hormonal changes. My doctor advised me to stop with the injections and prescribed another topical medication. Hopefully my flare ups can live without the injections. How is everyone else coping?

My daughter has Aloepecia Areata. Has anyone taken Kenalog to grow hair back. My doctors saying this may work and did mention about the dimpling effect. Not in the detail I read here, though. He made it sound like it would just be a dimple. I did not get the shot in his office, wanted to research some more. By the way, she is only a 11 yrs old. Not sure whether to try this stuff after reading all this.
