Side Effects
none

Additional Thoughts
Kenalog has been great. I suffer from allergies and have had nasal polyps. The Kenalog has been very helpful in giving me relief. My concern comes from the fact that most doctors do not want to use this therapy. I have relocated and I have 3 doctors that won't use Kenalog (I have taken 2-4 shots a year for 10 years). I'm worried (the doctors echo the same sentiment) that any cortisone taken over a long period could result in damage (in men, to the hips). I'm just looking for other experiences (most people who have used Kenalog for sinus issues report very favorably with little to no side effects.

Reason: for hip pain Date: 17 February 2007
Side Effects
I didn't feel like kenalog helped with my hip pain. The worst thing, though, was that after a couple of months I noticed a large dent in my hip. So, the only thing that drug did was kill my muscle tissue. I'm 5 ft. 3 in. and weigh 110 pounds--I need all the muscle and fat tissue I have, especially around the hip area.

Additional Thoughts
I never would have agreed to a shot of Kenalog if I had known what it would do to my hip. No doctor can tell me how to get the muscle tissue built up again.
