Kenalog and care physician

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.

Bruce, don't take the shot anymore, go to a E.N.T. allergy Dr. & start the shots for allergies. I think these weekkly shots last for a period of at least 4-5 years every week. Check with your primary care physician for a referral. I'm gonna do just that!! No more Kenalog shots, there's to many side effects that hurt you in the long run!!!!!!!

My 83 year old Mother had a shot of Kenalog in her knee 11 days ago. Her knee had been sore for months, so the doctor drained her knee and gave her 1cc of Kenalog. She has experienced a severe rash over her entire body for 10 days and it is NOT going away. She has been taking Benedryl which a primary care physician prescribed after giving her a shot of Benedryl before she left the office. The physician said she always uses Kenalog and sees no problem with the drug. My mother is calling doctors trying to figure out what to do and how to make the itchy rash go away. With so many side effects this is not a good drug to take! Where's the FDA?
Why aren't the doctors concerned about giving this drug?

I went to my usual Urgent Care Physician about 10 months ago for a sinus infection and bronchitis and he said he was going to give me 2 shots in each hip, never bothered to tell me what they were or the possible side effects. I assumed it was penicillin or something like it. After the huge dent in my left hip appeared a month later, I knew it had to be from that shot. I called the doctor's office and asked what it was. It was Kenalog. I am sick over this and want to know if it will ever go away. I recently bumped into a car mirror on this dent site and now 9 days later it is as black and purple as can be about 8 inches around and shows no signs of going away. Is there anything that can be done?
