I had horrible allergies and was taking five different strong medicines when I went to my GP miserable. She gave me a shot of Kenalog and I felt better in the next week... the pollen from Pecan trees also was passing... Now three months after I have a three inch ?scar and muscle atrophy that lets me push my finger into my buttocks several inches. I have lost weight and feel tired. I wish I would have known what I was being given and the possible side effects. I am now taking allergy shots and will never take Kenalog again.
