I was given a shot in I think January of 2008, not knowing exactl...

The shot was given incorrectly. It needs to go deep into the muscle, if pulled out to soon it decrease fat cell around injection site. It will fill back up within a year or so and is harmless. If you get the shot again make sure your nurse or who ever is giving the shot knows what they are doing. It needs to be shot in muscle part of your hip not the fatty part and the syringe needs to be completely empty before it is pulled out.

HI, I have been getting Kenalog Injections for a spinal issuce and sciatica. I have also started having issues with menstration-bleeding all the time every other week. GYNO did exam and found polyps -several of them. They were removed. Then I had bleeding issues again sometimes not bleeding. Then i was diagnosed with PCOS-cysts on my ovaries and the cycles not being normal. I am taking Metformin to try to get regulated. My understanding PCOS is a endocrine issue. I have not seen a endocrineologist yet. However I find it odd that each time i have a injection my period woudl start. I would cal land they said yes that could happen .However when i brought it to their attnetion they said oh it should not be doing that..........???? So im taking metformin to help me. Last three months I become regular- Then i get a injection. Horrible pain in my calf and foot burning. I think they hit a nerve and damaged it. I have been taking naproxen and tramodol-which seems to help.
HOwever My feet a messed up to becausue I have fallen so much in the last few years that i have continued to mess my bac kup more and feet. So they gave me a injection two weeks ago- i feel like im gainging weight. I started to bleed early.........one day. Then stopped. Then I had another one last week. Guess waht im bleeding again............and im not due to start until the end of hte month.. So i have come to the conclusion there is a serious linke with these steriods in my female probelems. I know my weight does not help but my blood tests are normal and good. However I am swimming alot lately and it feels wonderful in fact i dont have as much pain and i know this is good for my wieght loss. Streachs. water areobics. laps. Plus the naproxen i know is helping with the inflamation. I think the steriods are for peopel with extreem pain- also it helps cover a longer period of time and for some avoids the need to take a daily medication. I have worked on tolerating my pain to avoid taking to much of the pills i have and swimming has bene helping. I have decided to try not getting the injections for a while to see what happens if i "return to normal". I find it odd so many people are having issues with this. I want to know what or why people are not aware of this. It could be just some peoples chechmical make up does not respond well to these particular steriod or any. I mean there trying to help one probelem now creating another. PCOS can lead to higher chances of cancer.diabetes and other stuff .DO i really want that? NO im going to work hard at swimming .praying and yeah its not godo take pills they mess with my stomach a bit but I know i want a normal female system and i dont want to have my chances for cancer to 50% higher. I dont know any thoughts?
