Unbelievable... I took a Kenalog shot in March for spring allergi...

I'm in total shock and thought I was crazy until I read all these disastrous stories...I had a slipped disc in my lower back and kept going to my chiropractor several times in the same week for therapy and adjustments. FINALLY, after NO relief for the pain, I asked for a shot of cortisone and he sent me to the other side of the office to a regular physician. I asked her for a shot of cortisone in my back for the pain. She told me she had something similar called KENALOG. I remember having to sign release forms but was never informed of any side effects either as many of you were not....I only a month ago noticed the indentions on my back once my skin turned brown from tanning because the indentions have a white burned like appearance. I started freaking out because I look deformed but more importantly my muscle tissue is gone and I dont know if it will get worse or what can be done about it. Subsequently, it's in the area of the injection sites and there were multiples and i still have back pain and spasms. I have been wondering about speaking with an attorney also.

I had the shot 3 weeks ago - am bleeding and will need an endometrial biopsy. Was never told about potential side effects - was told this was a "safe" drug. Had spinal injection for L5 disk pressing on nerve. The first week after the shot I could barely walk from pain - lived on Percoset. Lost muscle strength in leg - couldn't walk up stairs for 3 days. Am due for a another shot 9/8 - will not do again, even though for 2 weeks now the pain has subsided a great deal. I'm sure it'll come back soon and I'll probably need surgery - rather that then some of the horrible side effects I'm reading about. Good luck to you.
