HI, i too have to say i am kind of relieved after reading this website that i am not alone with my experiences of the kenalog injection. I was given kenalog injections to treat hayfever, although i wasn't told the name of the injection. They did help and i probably would of continued this year if it wasn't for the side effects. I was told that to have one a yr was safe, then just before xmas i noticed a dent on my hip, this started getting larger and looked almost like scare tissue, I too was worried i had some sort of flesh eating disorder. The dent is still there and i will never have that injection again. I also have been experience problems with my hips and pain around my coxis,i am not sure if this too is related to the injection. I was told by my doctor who is very good that the kenalog had eaten my fat tissue causing a dent and that it will get better in time.

I recieved the shot Kenalog in August of 2007. I had a bad case of poison ivy. I noticed a few days after the shot that there was a large bruise, and a dent about the size of my thumb nail. It now has grown to the size of my fist, and still looks very bruised. I also started my period shortly after the shot and it lasted on and off (more on than off) for 3 weeks. I have had very heavy bleeding since then and my periods last more than a week at a time. I have been extremley tired and emotional since the shot was given to me. Not to mention the pain Im having in my hip, and lower back. I have read that Kenalog "kills the muscle tissue and your body then absorbs the dead muscle" . Thats what causes the dent. If anyone has any other info. or advice please let me know. Im not against taking this to a class action law suit. I am outraged that doctors give this shot to people. I was NEVER warned of any side effects!!!
