I had a Kenolog injection in Nov. 2006, for pneumonia. I got better and thought all was fine. After a 2 months i noticed a strange indention on my upper left buttcheek. at that time it was about the size of a quarter. Also at that time, never having heard of any side effects i was stressing Big Time about why I had this "hole" in my cheek. After going to a different doctor and having a sonogram and a bunch of people looking at my behind with No answers. I finally found a Kenolg complaint web site after google-ing indentation in buttcheek. I was shocked as i finally put 2 & 2 together! Now It's Sept. 2007 I still not only have a "hole" in my cheek, it has gotten much bigger, about the size of my fist!!! It's hideous! It also aches. I use to run now that hurts my glute.The doctor has been no help. I keep hoping it gets better, but so far only worse. Does it get better and heal up?? Is anyone currently involved in any lawsuits regarding this situation? any info would be much appreciated.

hey there, at the moment im looking into a complaint on my doctor about kenelog, in my case, i look like i have been burned, i live in florida and everywhere i go out, i dont know what to tell strangers when asked if i have gotten burned, i got about 3 or 4 shots and on every sight, it has been affected, dr didnt mention anything about bad side affects, he just laughed when i told him and said at least you arent bikini size. your color will come back in a year. be grateful.

Yes, I DID have a lawsuit pending, but it is being dropped for lack of evidence. Good luck to you with any action you decide to take. The good news for you is that it's probably as bad as it will get. From this point, you should expect that it'll begin to gradually fill in. Gradually! Mine is about 2 years old, and is still as big around as my fist, but not quite as deep. Woo friggin Hoo!
