have used kenalog/xylocaine injections over the years for hip and LS Spine pain due to Fibromyalgia, but never more than 1 injection every 3 months. When I saw my rheumy on5/9/06, she said she would NEVER give just one. She insisted on giving me 4 ! one in each hip and 1 in each buttock. She said she's given as many as 5 at a time, every 5-6 months, with no problems. I have so many probs with allergic reactions to so masny meds, I was petrified. But she's always done well for me, for 17 years. Other than having sleep probs, I was walking and having full mobility in 2 days. However on 5 17/06 I began having severe body wide itching. No welts, but appears to be hives. Do you think there's a connectin to the injection? I'll call my pharmacist today and see wehat he says. Can't narrow it down to anything else. Any ideas?
