I have also had Kenalog injections. The only side effect I seem to have is the atrophy at the injection site. It suddenly appeared one day about 4 months after my first injection. It was only dime sized and stayed that way for about a year. I thought it was a funny strech mark from having lost a lot of weight. I had another injection about 1 year later and noticed 4-5 months afterward the crater started expanding. It now seems to keep growing and I finally went to the derm and he said it was a side effect from Kenalog. I am using the OTC product Mederma to see if it helps the appearance of the area. Sorry to hear all of your terrible side effects.

i received an injection of kenalog in my upper right buttock and now have the fat atrophy that others have described due to the poor administration of the injection. after reading the kenalog prescribing info, i have discovered that it is entirely the doctor's fault for giving me a shallow injection..not intra-muscular. has anyone gotten any resolve from their doctor for an unskilled injection? does the divot ever go away?
