Kenalog and tht

I was recently diagnosted with 2 bulging discs in my back after being in constant pain for 7 months. My doctor suggested tht I get a series (3 shots) of epidural steriod shots in my back to see if it would help. I had the first on 02APR05 and felt great after 3 days. I was basically pain free for 6 weeks and then the pain started again. I just had my second shot yesterday and I'm just waiting for the soreness at the injection site to go away. The only side effect that occurred is slight muscle cramps in my hamstrings occasionally. I've had two different doctors give the injection and neither talked about side effects of the steriod (Kenalog 40). They only generalized steriod side effects such as possible weight gain, fluid retention, increaded appetite, increased blood sugar and a few other symptoms. There was nothing about the actual medication itself.
