I had a Kenalog shot in May and my life has not been the same since. I went to a doctor for shoulder blade pain which he immediately diagnosed as muscular. I never believed it to be muscular pain, as the pain started while I was at rest. 4 days after the shot the pain started spreading downward into my kidneys and stomach. I couldn't eat due to extreme intestinal distress. I lost 16 lbs over the next few weeks. I later learned Kenalog can cause ulcers, plus I was on Ibuprofen (which the doctor never asked me) which can increase the risk of intestinal damage. It is over 2 months later and I can't tell you the hell I have lived in - I am still sick, severe body pain and neurological pins and needles sensation. I spoke with a lawyer who said doctors are bound by their attorneys to never admit their drug could cause damage, he also said the Kenalog could have been bad or tainted. My leg/body pain is severe and I don't know if I will ever be the same again. I have not had a period since the shot. One doctor suggested the Kenalog could have stressed my system and released a dormant virus. Or the original shoulder blade pain was an infection and the Kenalog disseminated throughout my body. There is no answer or relief. It suppresses the immune system and cause false negatives on blood tests. All I can say is please say a pray for me and stay away from Kenalog.
