August 30th this year I received a 40mg injection of Kenalog from my dermatologist, also Triamcinolone Acetonide cream usp 0.1% & Betamethasone Valeraate Cream USP 0.1% to be used on my skin for a terrible rash. Used the cream as prescribed, I also was in severe pain from (nerve cell damage?) in my legs, (no I'm not diabetic) which my primary Dr an internist had diagnosed from blood work? and he had been giving me the Kenalog injections about every three or four months and the last two had not helped the leg pain....trying to make this short-----the amazing side effect, if it was caused by all the steroids was, I had been horribly bloated which we had surmised was from the Kenalog, in a week I had lost 18 pounds of fluid, my legs were back to normal size for the first time in I don't know how long. My sister is an RN and we were baffled. I asked my dermatologist, I've seen a neurologist since then, and they had no clue??? Have you ever heard of this happening??? Jolene *** ****** Ada Ok 74820
