my story sounds eerily similar to all of yours -- i received a kenalog injection (40mg) in my right arm (below the deltoid) last may 2007, and two months later the bruised dent was the size of a quarter. now (october 2007) the dent is approximately the size of a golf ball with bruising still visible. i am a new graduate student and my new classmates/friends have asked whether my "dent" is a gunshot wound, a skin graft, you name it. my GP simply denies any knowledge of kenalog's side effects and completely dismisses any suggestion that my erratic periods (i'm having one every other week) could be due to "just one injection." one last side effect -- i have back, chest, and neck acne for the first time in my life. not sure if that is connected. again, my story isn't much different from all of yours, but i felt compelled to share it to make the number of similar cases known...

I am really sorry that your are experiencing the same symptoms, especially at such a young age. I still have some pain and some discoloration (6 months out fromthe date of injection) but slowly it does seem to be getting better. I hope you will be able to say the same.
God Bless.
