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!!!
