Had a steroid shot combo of Kenalog and something else for allergies about 3 years ago. Didn't make the association then about the deep indentations on my upper buttocks and the shot I had in that same area a few month earlier until I found this website. I just had another Kenalog shot (in my arm) for allergies about 5 weeks ago. Since then I've had two periods the second of which is dragging on and on. I was a bit panicked until I searched and found this website and another and found others who had the same symptoms. I called my primary doctor and they had no idea of this side effect. He said to come in for a follow up if my symptoms continue. Meanwhile, it is really stressing me out due to a family history of cancer. ******

It is not that uncommon to have the bleeding. Unfortunately, I had to go thru a Doctor go up into my uterus without sedation to "check" things out. Actually a D & C in part. The internet wasn't around then but I discovered it was probably from the shot from looking it up in the PDR. I have had a couple since but I am post menapausal now. My Dr. will not give them but I will say they sure worked for my allergies and nasal problems. I don't know why Doctors don't know about this being a side effect. It isn't uncommon.
