I had a serious swelling and redness around my eyes 3 weeks ago. My first visit to the doctor, he gave me 60 mg kenalog. The next day I was worse, He drew blood & gave me Zyrtec. The third day it was worse, and I was having problems swallowing, my husband took me to a different doctor, I told him about the first injection, He said it may not have been enough and gave me another 60 mg kenalog, and Allegra. Finally, the swelling stopped and started to recede. A week later the symtoms, started again, however, I was not near medical help. I started downing benedryl. I still have discoloration around my eyes, and have developed cataracts, which I did not have weeks before, (I had an eye exam shortly before this, and had to go back due to seeing problems) However, the doctors did say if the injection was not into the muscle, and was injected into the fat, it could cause deteriorization of the fat and a divit in the area injected. I don't have that problem. I asked the md about the kenelog about causing cataracts, and was told it was a condition that should clear up in a couple of weeks. I'll keep you posted if is disapates.
