8 months ago I had kenalog in a very large bolus injected into my knee, since I have had severe deformity to my knee and surrounding area. My skin is paper thin, to the point you can feel the grooves in my patellar surface, I have had very abnormal bruising to my knee (the bruise has never gone away and is constantly changing), my menstral cycle has stopped, I have bouts of severe moodiness, the tissue surrounding my knee appears to be eroding away, my skin is peeling, and my recent MRI shows very abnormal findings. I was not warned of the severe side effects. I have also recently developed GI bleeding.

My Kenalog experience has been horrible! I had two in January '07 but had an IUD in at the time so I chalked the side effects (excess facial hair, weight gain, moodiness, depression, etc.) up to that. I had my IUD removed in March and a couple of months later things improved. I thought it was all the IUD.
-- By jla1975 | Reply | Send Private MailFast forward to September '07. I had two more Kenalog injections Well it was horrible. I had every side effect I think except for the indentation. My husband and I were also trying to get pregnant and I had no idea these shots could do so much damage to my cycle. I am not ovulating now and had almost no period for two months and now I cannot stop bleeding. It is so disheartening.
I don't know if I would go through it ever again since the results don't seem to last long term for my pain anyway. I just wish I had read more about it before I had two in a row done.
