Basically, I have had the same thing happen to me, except that it is on my face. The bottom line is that the atrophy does reverse itself over time. This usually takes at least 6 months, and can take up to 18 months I have been told me several doctors/surgeons. Just give it time, the tissues will come back. You have apparently had the shot administered several times in the same area, so it will take time for the tissues to regenerate. If you read all of these posts closely, they are all from people who have had this shot within the last few months generally. I have also read that the tissue atrophy does reverse over time unless the disease is itself atrophic. I hope this is comforting. I had my kelalog shot over 3 months ago, and I have already started to see some mild improvement in the tissue in the area. In a year it will probably be back to normal. All the best to you.
Curious what to do about this Depressing problem......
I too am going through what everyone else is explaining. On September 25, 2007 I was given an 80MG Kenalog shot in the righ buttocks, for what the doctor thought was an allergy. I now have a huge crater in my rear where the kenalog shot was injected. It doesn't seem to be getting any better either. I was wondering if there was a class action lawsuit on this or NOT??? Or if anyone has contacted a lawyer, and what the lawyer might have told them to do? If someone would please contact me the help would be greatly appreciated.
