I am as relieved to find this site, after reading this it's like a puzzle where all the pieces have come together. Unfortunatly now I am worried about what this Kenalog has done to my body. In Aug 2008 I recieved a 40mg Kenalog shot to help stop the swelling in my lips, tongue and throat...which is ironic and funny to me since those happen to be the same symptoms I would have experienced had I had an allergic reaction to the shot. Nice job thinking that one through doc. The shot did nothing to relieve the swelling (thanks docs!), but apparently has done a number on my body. Two months later (Oct 2008) I have been left with a visible dent on my right buttocks, where the shot was given. It started as a grey dent about the size of a small thumb, but has now grown to the size of an Ozarka bottle top. Additionally the non-visible ailments I have been suffering are numbness in the right leg, sometimes it gets so severe that my leg feels tight and paralyzed. I have noticed heart flutters, and about two weeks after the shot I noticed a sudden weight loss of 12lbs in 2 weeks. This might not seem like much, but for a 25 year old who is 5'5'', muscular, and very active my healthy weight is about 125lbs, I am now 111 lbs (I weighed that much in JR. HIGH!! ugh!) it's bothersome. I can't seem to gain weight and instead continue to loose weight. Additionally I get blurred vision randomly and for extended periods of up to 3-4 min. The dent is bothersome, but it is just a visible ailment. What worries me more than anything else is the fact that the above ailments seem to be related to the Kenalog shot...so what unseen damage has it done to my body?? I called the nurse who gave me the shot and she offered no help what so ever. I have sent this site to other family and friends so that they can be aware of the side effects of this too commonly used drug. I hope the side effects that we are suffering go away, and that this product is taken off the market.
