My daughter had a kenalog shot for itching on May 2009. The doctor never mentioned any side effects to her. Now she has a huge indentation in her left buttock. She is only 18 yrs old and she is scare and afflicted because the dent is getting larger and disfiguring that part of her body. I read enough complains. There must be an action lawsuit against the company distributing, selling and benefiting from this drug. Some doctors also should be liable for neglecting to release the accurate potential damage (as it is known) cause by this drug. It is causing mental pain and anguish due to the disfigurement that it leaves and also constant concern about the growing destruction of the muscle cells.Enough damage have been done. Who will pay to correct the damage? ******

It has been a year since I've had a Kenalog shot for a sinus infection and I have a 2 inch indention/scar from the shot not given to me correctly. I've had 2 other since then and no scar. My doctor explained to me that b/c the nurse didn't go deep enough into the muscle tissue, the muscle has atrophied. I'm definitely writing a letter to the facility about this. I've read that it has to do with the medicine but with me having 2 additional shots since then, I'm thinking it has a lot to do with how it is administered...anyone have thoughts?

gravaly . . . . . I suggest that you file a complaint to the FDA . . go to www.fda.gov/medwatch. I filed one because I am a victim of Lipitor. HOPEFULLY, if enough people will complain about these dangerous drugs . . .then some of them will be ban.

I am so sry for your 18 yr old. I am 31 and I have the exact spot and issue your daughter has. Its horriable, i went to er today told them I was there in march and since then I have or am losing my butt. They said they never seen anything like this before and complained about the bill from march, i told them I am not paying anything till I find out what they did to me. They reffered me to a dermatologist??? Is he going to pay for my bills? Pay to have my body back the way it was...I am going to file suit, hey this is my body, it's not about money it's about my self esteem and the pain. If you have any information please let me know. tamarareneefrost@yahoo.com God Bless

That's to say the least...I want to take her to court...this is a horrible shame..it's been three weeks, I am so depressed about this situation with Kenalog shots in my index fingers. That has spread a horrible rash through my hands..that knarled the skin, shriveled, darkened, dented and keep me up nights....They should warn people about these side affects..this drug is very dangerous
