Kenalog and urination

Last year I had a Kenalog shot in my left hand due to arthritis. The next day I couldn't get out of bed that whole day due to feeling extremely tired and like I had the flu.
I needed another shot, this time in my right hand, this year and decided I would try it again. I did not get those side effects this time but did seem to urinate a LOT through the night and actually lost 5 lbs overnight! I don't know if that is a side effect of taking the inflammation down or what (?) Has anyone had that effect?******

Thank you for this site.
Last august (9/05) I had a Kenalog shot in my left knee. Since that time I have had to get up and pee in the middle of the night ( this is a probelm for me because i am an insomniac). I never had a problem of night urination before the Kenalog shot. All the doctors i have talked to do not believe me. I don't know much about medications but I am very in tuned to my body. There is no doubt in my mind when I started having this problem. There maybe additional dilemmas associated with this (bladder and prostate).
Is there any help and or advice out there? I would greatly appreciate it.

I just finished three epidural injections for pain & numbness due to herniated & bulging cervical discs. Kenalog was injected.
I have felt just terrible since mid-week of the first injection ! I have had severe fluid retention. In addition to the retention I also get up 4-5 times per night to urinate with no change in the fluid retention! My abdomen and stomach are distended and very uncomfortable especially after meals. I now have an uncontrollable appetite & eat incessantly. I feel huge! My thirst has increased. I have night sweats. My breasts have been very sore. I am irritable, fatigued, bloated. I have moon face! My neck pain is now constant at the base of my skull with intense pressure, especially when I lie down. Obviously, I do not sleep well. My legs, ankles & fingers are especially swollen.
I wish I had never had the injections of Kenalog. Compared to the side effects I am experiencing from Kenalog, I would have lived with the discomfort and numbness!
What is the time this takes to get out of my system & I can expect to get back to normal?
