I received the Kenalog shot 2 times for migraines induced by allergies. It was very effective. I to received the craters one on my butt and one on my deltoid with discoloration. Its due to it shrinking the fat cells. If the nurse pulls the needle out and a trail of the steroid is leaked thru to the surface this will occur. Make sure the z track it. But to all those effected by this, they come back ... Show Full Comment

But to all those effected by this, they come back! You are not deformed forever. I even went to a muscle doctor and he told me this. I believe it goes back to normal within 1-2yrs. I think its worth it not to have migraines as much anymore.

Injection x1 to reduce inflammation at inflamed skin tag. Inflammation reduced in about 48 hrs. However, 2 months later, large dent and discloration at injection site. Internet reports by individuals w/ this adverse effect. Not listed on this site. Apparently can continue to worsen.

I just received my second injection to treat severe allergies (3/2013). My allergies are practically debilitating - I was taking allergra-D daily, using a neti-pot to irrigate my sinuses, and still suffered from constant post-nasal drip, sinus headaches, heavy congestion, etc. I was not aware of the potential side effects before I first received the injection in November 2012.

I just received my second injection to treat severe allergies (3/2013). My allergies are practically debilitating - I was taking allergra-D daily, using a neti-pot to irrigate my sinuses, and still suffered from constant post-nasal drip, sinus headaches, heavy congestion, etc. I was not aware of the potential side effects before I first received the injection in November 2012. Like clockwork, after 3 months I started to notice my symptoms return - eventually to full force (flu-like symptoms every day). I was glad to receive the shot. I have not experienced any negative side effects and have actually lost weight since first receiving (due to increased exercise - not related to shot - just stating that I have not experienced weight gain). I look forward to continuing to receive the shot on schedule for as long as I suffer from allergies (I am also going to an allergist soon to find out what I am allergic to in case there are other remedies). Good luck to anyone considering and I hope you have an excellent outcome as well!!!!

I was given this shot by my doctor to treat allergies and wasn't told of the side effects, or that it was a steriod. I would not recommend this drug. I would advise anyone thinking of getting this shot to research before doing so. There are plenty of side effects and I don't think they are worth it. Every since having this shot, I've had difficulty sleeping, fatigue, muscle weakness, mood swings ... Show Full Comment

I would advise anyone thinking of getting this shot to research before doing so. There are plenty of side effects and I don't think they are worth it. Every since having this shot, I've had difficulty sleeping, fatigue, muscle weakness, mood swings, confusion, depression, irritability, dizziness on and off, light headed, itchiness, flushing, tingling in arms and legs. Now I can't sleep without taking medication to help me sleep. I was relatively healthy prior to taking this.
