I am 56 years old and have gone thru Menopause and have not had a period for 5 years. I just had 2 epidural injections of kenalog for my L4, L5, S1., I just had a period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The doctors say it's not from the steroid shot. I take a sleep aid pill to help me sleep. Good news is my pain is gone.

I'm only 35, but I finished my period two days before the shot, got the shot, and a week later, I have a period again! It can't be a coincidence.

I am 54 years old, have not had a period for 4 years. I had a Kenalog injection 1 week ago and surprise-I appear to be having a period.
I wasn't informed of this side effect!

I talkd to doctors about this and they had "no comment". Its been 4 weeks since period. flashes have come back and so far not another period!
I'll let you know if I get another period....I am thinking I won't,

Perhaps you still have your ovaries; have not had a hysterectomy (you sdidn't say). I just had a kenalog epidural this morning for L3-4 & 'mild' stenosis but my ovaries were removed when I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago. Pain still here but, then again, only 1 treatment, perhaps tomorrow will be better. next treatment in 1 week. ALSO w/ no ovaries how the heck am I supposed to have a period? Hope you're pain remains gone!
