Avatar m tn Has anyone else ever experianced this and how long does it take for the kenalog to dissolve. My vision in that eye was around 20/40 and it was believed that the kenalog could get my vision closer to 20/20. Which I was thrilled to hear but now I can not even see the eye chart.I will see my retina specialist next week. Thank you for your help.
Avatar n tn Immediately after Kenalog injection in one eye to treat CME after cataract surgery, I had 2 types of floaters. Bear in mind that everyone is different. I described mine, which did go away, as huge black tangled ropes hanging from the top and swaying (looked like I was going through a car wash) and thousands of black dots/specs flying around (looked like the universe). Dr. responded that it was from the shot and would go away; I was very relieved..
Avatar n tn On 16 july 2013 i was attacked by some hoodlums leaving a big deep cut on my chicks that was stitched. 6weeks after the stithes it began to grow an ugly hypertropic scar. A kenalog injection was given to me on the tenth week. Presently it is not showing any sign of atrophy but lumps on some place that it was injected and it is becoming harder by the.
1932338 tn?1349220398 How common is it for a Cataract surgeon to insist on a Kenalog injection one week before Cataract Surgery? I went to 4 Specialists for opinions since I wanted to get the Best of the Best for my cataract surgery. I had an Membrane Peel/ Vitrectomy 9 months ago, so I realize the Cataract surgery needs to be done more carefuly. Only one of the Specialists recommends the Pre-Kenalog injection (and he is the Surgeon I like in all other regards)...so I am doubtful I should get it.
Avatar n tn I recently received the Kenalog injection and had a reaction (month later) i've never had an irregular menstrual cycle and after the injection i've had a second one in one month. i've had slight dizziness and elevated headaches. The over the counter medications such as Claritin and Tylenol allergy were not helping with my allergies and my doctor decided that kenalog was the way to go. it helped with my allergies but i'm afraid of the side effects.
Avatar n tn Could all of this be the result of the kenalog injection or a yeast infection exacerbated by the kenalog injection? Or possibly nerve damage from the kenalog injection? I'm even wondering if it is the diflucan killing off the yeast infection which caused nerve damage throughout the area. It is driving me crazy and I can't eat or work or date or anything. I was convinced it was HSV but every doctor and the blood tests say no.
Avatar m tn I take a shot every 90 days for them. The injection is kenalog. 40mg, 1cc. Since moving here from california I can not find a doctor that gives this shot. I have actually had a few say they never heard of kenalog used for allergies. Hard to believe since its in opening paragraph for kenalog under google search. Does anyone live in illinois and know where I can get this shot. I can not sleep due to constant congestion in my sinuses. So hard to live and work in this condition.

Avatar n tn How often can one have an injection of Kenalog? The caudal blocks and the facet injections cost over $35,000.00 when all the different factors were added in.......operating room, anesthesiologist, doctor, medications, etc. Why cannot a dermataologist just give a patient who has psoriasis these injections once or twice a year. At least the patients that it helps? I can have these expensive treatments for my back that do not really work for my back but do for the psoriasis.
1139742 tn?1272938194 Two reason, first to see if it will reduce the swelling and also to see if you are a steroid responder-secondary glaucoma (Durezo). If you are you DO NOT WANT a Kenalog injection. If the drops fail you could consider Ozudex implant (not covered by insurance for this problem) but may help and it has less of a steroid response.

733362 tn?1489794936 Down to 2mg now and anxiety is terrible. I got a Kenalog injection Nov 5th and have been feeling really funny since. Reading about this steroid a lot of the side effects are the same as Benzo w/d,, Anxiety, trouble sleeping, heart palps, numbness, etc. They say that the effects of 40 to 60mg can last for MONTHS. Great, that's just what I needed. I'm sure it has made my taper a lot harder than it needed to be. I have done some research on this Doctor.
Avatar f tn Female with huge indentation face post kenalog injection supposedly into cyst on cheek. Cyst still there.. Totally unxpected outcome. What are my options now?
Avatar f tn I'm a 30 year old woman with nearly constant mild to moderate itching with several spurts a day of severe itching that keeps me from sleeping or focusing. It began three years ago during my 20th week of pregnancy and never left. I have tested negative for all allergens. I've had a kenalog shot, attarax, benzodiazepenes. I've used lidocaine, menthol, etc type lotions (and three or four prescription ones). Nothing helps. I don't have dry skin.
Avatar m tn By the way the last injection of kenalog was about 5.5 weeks ago, I dont know if this info is relevant.
Avatar f tn Did your mark went away?? I had the kenalog injection last week and now I have a light spot on my eye lid, it was usedto treat a chalazion. The doctor said it might go away in 3 to 6 months. But I'm scared this is permanent.
Avatar n tn I got a Kenalog injection 8 months ago for allergies in my hip and it has atrophied so much that it causes pain to sit, and sometime just standing. At times pain goes down my leg to the calf. My doctor said it was the worst he has seen and is referring me to a plastic surgeon How long does this condition continue to progress? Is it self limiting? Does that mean I can never take a steroid in the future? I can't tell if the bones hurt or it's just the tissue.
Avatar m tn Lost left eyesight 6 days after Depo-Medrol epidural. Following year, right eyesight went after Kenalog injection to the right shoulder. I'm trying to determine if I have cortical blindness. I recently had a VER and an EEG tests done and would like a second opinion to interpret the results.
Avatar n tn I am wondering if a kenalog injection would help bring my eyelid back to normal. I have tried massaging it and using heat, but nothing seems to help. I would highly appreciate your thoughts.
Avatar f tn Why do i have to rest after a lidocaine trigger injection in my back? What are the side effects of resuming normal activity immediately?
Avatar m tn They used Buffered Lidocaine injection which I did not feel any of.. I must admit, I did put over the counter Lidocaine cream all over my breast about an hour before the procedure. I used this Lidocaine cream on my arm before a tetanus shot that I had to get and was so afraid of and I was screaming for the nurse to WAIT but.. IT WAS ALREADY DONE! Helps a lot so you don't feel pain. Nurse also gave me tips for next time I get an injection.
673999 tn?1226935279 One is Lidocaine 2 % Gel, Marccain, Kenalog and Heprin. The second is 1% Injectable Lidocaine, Sodium Bicarbonate and they add your Elmiron. I've had both extensively and found them to be a tremendous help. You'll need to see a doctor in The Urology Group. Some of the doctors are better with IC than others, read their bios on their website and look for one the mentions female urology not prostrate surgery. Here's the URL to their website http://www.theurologygroup.cc/index.asp.
Avatar n tn She still has 1 filling left to get and frankly I am a little unsure about her having it done. The paramedics asked the dentist what she gave her and she told them lidocaine and epinephrine.
Avatar n tn Thank you for the information. So a kenalog injection in my eyelid has the same risks as pred forte eye drops that go directly in my eye? I have seen three Internists, two ophthalmologists, and a disease specialist. Also a lab did a culture that came back with only gram negative bacteria which the doctors said did not mean much. I don't know if they checked for malignancy. I assumed they would have.
383138 tn?1314167773 wants to do a lidocaine IV infusion, he says IV infusion of lidocaine is different than the dental injection. My cardiologist says I can't have lidocaine at all, due to my past severe heart reaction to it, but my pain dr. thinks it will be OK and has scheduled me for infusion for pain relief for this Friday. I dont know what to do, so any info on the lidocaine and any contraidictions with heart arrhythmias would be helpful. Thankyou.

14051 tn?1238251732 So, with that said, This morning, I had the same effects with the steroid/Lidocaine injection in my right hip/Trochanter as I did prior to the hardware removal. I immediately felt a sharp pain in the right side of my back when the doctor realeased the first part of the medicine, then I could feel fast relief in my right foot, leg, hip, groin, back. My doctor has no answers as to why it relieved the other pains. This again lasted only for 45 minutes.
Avatar f tn I have tried every RX cream out there and today I had to get Kenalog injections in each lesion. I had them once before and got the injections and they cleared up but none the less they came back. My doctor has recommended that I start tanning. He even gave me a prescription to tan. Is there anything else that can be done to help them from coming back? They itch all the time!
