Kenalog and blisters

I received a shot on the 21st of march and was told by my dr that the side effects were minimal and I have now been on my period for 18 days straight called my dr and they said thats not normal call your ob dr. Now that I have found this web site I see that I am not the only one who has had this problem. I have always thought it was a dr responsibility to worn you about side effects like this but I guess NOT. And to top it all off the shot didn't even work for me I am stili in alot of pain in my back. THIS SUCKS

I had two Kenalog injections (not sure of the dose) several years ago to help curb the effects of dyshidrotic eczema on my hands ... and wound up not ovulating for about three months. This had not even been brought up as a potential side effect when my dermatologist recommended the injections, and she acted as though it was a very small thing when I called about it later on. I was not given a drug information sheet (nor, I have to confess, did I ask for one).

In my personal experience, though, the relief from the pain, blisters, cracking and bleeding on my hands was worth not having a period for several months, but if you're trying to get pregnant or already have female problems (i.e., PCOS, etc.), I would make a point to discuss these things with your dermatologist and/or your regular care physician before progressing with the injections.

I had to get a kenalog shot when I moved to another part of the state I live in because I was having trouble breathing. This was 12 years ago when I was 19. My breathing problem cleared up immediately and I didn't have any symptoms? Two years ago I developed some sort allergie that created blisters all over my legs from right above my knees down, they itched like crazy and the scratching I was doing was causing infection. I had to go on bactribin for 4 wks. The blisters came back almost immediately so my physician gave me a shot of kenalog and the ichting and blisters went away with in days. I did gain some weight and there were some cramps in my legs but the benefits (for me) far out-weight the problems before I took the shot.
