I went to my family doctor for some mild allergy problems. He prescribed me a daily Claritin-D and suggested that I get a shot of kenalog seasonally (4 times a year). I allowed him to do the first shot, that was almost 9 months ago. I am not sure when the dimple at the top of my right cheek started, but it is now noticeable to me. After googling "butt indentation" and I came across this page. Fortunately I did not go back for the other 2 kenalog shots I was supposed to get, and I am sick to my stomach that this thing is permanent. My doctor has lost a patient due to the fact that I feel misinformed about the possible side effects of something he seems to prescribe so easily. I also, have lost a little pride in the fact that I used to be very proud of my ass and now even though most people will never notice it, I know it's there... :(

I also have this problem in my buttock after a shot of Demerol and Fennergin when I went into labor more than 2 years ago. The spot is about the size of a tennis ball and there is another smaller spot underneath the big one that is the size of a quarter. I have noticed recently that the large spot is spreading. There is now an indented line forming from the large spot and going around my hip. I recently had a biopsy done and they confirmed that it is fat necrosis. Like you said, there is nothing we can do to make this go away, only cosmetic surgery. I don't know what my doc. plans to do next. How about you? Do you know if there is any type of legal action that can take place considering that this has not severely f'd up my 'nice' ass!
