I Myself Is a Doctor, Got the Same Problem

Posted over a year ago

I am a General Practitioner, when I got my both shoulder pain due to tendonitis, I have been seen by my friend specialist orthopaedic surgeon and he gave me this Kenalog injections to both shoulder joints, as I was so busy, i even requested 2 shots at the same time, I am 45+ and my mens has been still always regular until the month before the injection.Now I have like inter mentrual bleeding as well,being a doctor, thinking of the worst case scenario, could be cancer Uterus( Ca Endometrium). and even thinking of Endometrial biopsy,
Thank you very much for sharing your experience of mentrual irregularities, I have got a big big relief.

Kenalog Nightmare - The post above is frightening! As a doctor (if you are indeed one - let's hope not!) you should be well aware that corticosteroid injections can cause menstrual irregularities - it's well documented and in the manufacturer's pkg. material. Patients may not know this, but doctors (particularly GPs) most certainly should. The fact that you weren't aware of this as a supposed doctor just confirms the experience of so many patients that in general, doctors are dangerously clueless about the side effects of meds that are regularly administered. I had a terrible systemic reaction to Kenalog epidural injections, still ongoing after many months and doctors, including those who administered the injections, were completely uneducated about the side effects of this potent medication. Not to mention the fact that it's not supposed to be administered for epidural use. I've completely lost all trust in doctors.

Stay Away From Kenalog - @ "I Myself Is a Doctor" - give me a break. Either you're lying about being a doctor, or you never learned proper grammar and the basics of medications and side effects. I'm one of the countless victims of Kenalog injections (suffered numerous long-term side effects), and find it shocking that a doctor would publish such an uninformed comment. If you're not a doctor, spare us your bad grammar and lack of truthfulness.
