Get over yourselves. Those 'other' problems could be caused by a variety of things and not necessarily have anything to do with kenalog. I LOVE the stuff! I've received it several times for trochanter bursitis in both hips, for inflammation/pain relief in my right shoulder due to shoulder/rotator cuff reconstruction, my foot for affects of severe gout, carpal tunnel in both wrists, and several other times for inflammation/pain that cannot be treated with oral anti-inflammatories due to diabetic gastroparesis. Mind you, I do suffer from bad stomach cramps for a few hours post injection, but other than that mild side effect, the medication is FANTASTIC and successful in treating my numerous problems. I think you're all just looking for excuses to whine about your problems rather than being glad that you at least have someone trying to help you. I will recommend kenalog to anyone looking for relief of symptoms I've mentioned. My success rate is 95% +. Sometimes it takes more than one shot or being the individuals we are, we suffer some effects that aren't usual, ut this is no reason to crap on an excellent product that has helped so many, so often. So get over yourselves and quit your pouting.

krazykritik,
I see your post is from 11/08/06 and am wondering if you have had any reactions since your post? I had my first Kenalog shot some five years ago and had only mild side effects from it. Sore hip joints mostly. I would have recommended it to any one. I had another shot 10/03/07 and have had a multitude of problems! I've had my period every two weeks. I have also gotten boils and a kidney infection because my immune system is shot due to the long term effects of this drug! I don't believe any of the people who have posted questions or comments here are looking for excuses to whine. I got here while looking for further information and have found a wealth of it!!!! It is doubtful that the many people who have taken the time to seaech for more help and information about kenalog are just coincidentally suffering from several of the same problems. I, personally, am wondering just how much longer it is going to stay in my system. I can't help but wonder what you stand to gain by your less than necessary response to people who have a legitimate concern for their health. I'm thinking you might simply have responded with something like "It has been wonderful for me and I am so sorry it has caused you any pain!" Get over yourself and search the net for some compassion for those who are suffering.
