I am a 54yr old male and recently I have had a low impact fall and fractured my Tibia and Fibia (the bones below in my knee on my left leg) and also dislocated my foot at the same time. The surgeons were most interested to find out that I have had Kenalog injections for hayfever for the last 35 years. Two years ago the doctors refused to prescribe Kenalog anymore as they said it can cause a thinning of the bones. I was not told of these side effects previously. The surgeons said that I have osteoporosis as I had only had a low impact fall. So I would be interested if anyone else has been diagnosed with osteoporosis due to this Corticosteroid injection. Having been informed of the side effects of this medicine I would have not had it. I would advise anybody to seriously consider the side effects before taking this product.
