My first injection was 8-12-08 in my lumbar spine. It is still tender to touch and black and blue, but seems to be improving ever so slowly. I feel like I have the flu and have no energy. My back pain is worse and my legs feel weak when I stand for over 2 min. I have no interest in the things I loved to do before getting the Kenalog injection. I'm a retired RN, age 70, and can hardly believe that this is happening. Am I loosing my mind over this? It's very unlike me.
