Experiences with

Kenalog

I am a little concerned that it's Kenalog, which I thought was banned in UK. Although I am desperate to get rid of the shoulder pain, I don't like the look of the listed side effects.

At the moment I'm on hydroxylchloroquine and have a kenalog steroid injection every 5mths. My rheumatologist want's me to start on an immune suppressant but I'm not keen as I've try them b4 and don't tolerate the side effects very well.

Just thinkin' though ...... last Wednesday I had a steroid injection into left shoulder to deal with pain 20mg Kenalog ............ do we have a resident AF'er with Pharmacy skills who can comment on this drug please ? Or someone similar 😷😷 May the force be with you .... John

Since those distant days I have been referred to the care of an MSK Interface specialist who put me through a range of exercises and gave me an injection of Kenalog 20mg. Again sent me home but OK to return to work. He will ring me in 3 weeks.

Any thoughts on this method of pain relief for RA please?I've been offered this by the rheumy nurse and must admit to a bit of a shock when the email came through as I thought this drug had been withdrawn 50 years ago! My husband was on this for his asthma when I first met him back in 1973 until he was

Has anyone had a Kenalog and Marcaine injection in the knee, if so how long did it last?

developed ulcers inside my lower inner lip that kept coming and going (red circles/oval with white outer corner) and sometimes there was more than one in a clusters I took Double strenght probiotics before after and now still taking probiotics (Lifespan brand) The GP told me on the 3rd of October to use Kenalog

I think it is also called Kenalog

This week I went to my Orthopedic Surgeon for follow-up on a long standing right shoulder issue (DJD) and he recommended an injection of Kenalog (40mg). I contacted my Rhumy who confirmed going ahead with this procedure.

https://www.allergyuk.org/news/kenalog/ I found this quite interesting as I was given this as a child yep a child at 14 as my hayfever was so severe I was on maximum treatment an constantly ill from march - oct. Would trigger asthma an tonsillitis every year.

Back in June, about 6 weeks ago, I had a kenalog injection (80mg). It took 3 weeks to get to full effect (which was about 50% effective) and now I feel like I'm going back to as I was. I'm still waiting for my DMARD to be prescribed so not too surprising.

RA diagnosis confirmed last week by consultant (although the letter uses words like 'think' it's RA and 'if it doesn't resolve' with a Kenalog jab. I have my next appointment in 2.5 weeks. In the meantime, 8 days since my jab, I have found my knees have improved but that's all.

Hi everyone A really niche question to the community but hopefully someone will have an answer 😅 Long story short; long term steroids now finally at 5mg (4-5 years, averaging 20mg pred, ended up on kenalog steroid injections).

Either the Kenalog steroid injection is still working after 6 weeks (never experienced this much relief before), or the Tocilizumab kicked in straight away, or possibly a bit of both.

I’m off hydroxychloroquine in 2017, after ten years and have Kenalog iv injections every 12 weeks. I’m 64 and getting my vaccine this Tuesday. Was worried about Pfizer but does seem ok for lupus as well as Oxford.

to them all either (I’ve only called that number twice before 😅) As I said usually contact local hosp when there are issues or if I have a question and they are usually ok (less so since they’ve gained more nurses who don’t understand severe asthma but hey ho) I swapped off of prednisolone and onto kenalog

They know kenalog 80 equates to maybe about 20mg/day but again they aren’t sure 😅. If you’re on IM steroids make sure your asthma action plan reflects this, as it’s likely to be different to if you are on maintenance pred.

I’ve had triamcinalone/Kenalog IM injections a handful of times in past 3 years but no oral steroids. After methotrexate being withheld 4 weeks whilst in Ortho ward, I’m struggling big time with flare and trying to use crutches.

I am hopeful that the Kenalog steroid may still kick in within the next week or so ? Had any one else had a delayed response to this steroid injection. The nurse was sympathetic did say ring again next week if i still had not relief . Sorry for such a lengthy message

I have gone from a size 8 to a size 14 due to being on steriods for 3 years on an off and currently on Kenalog injections . I have currently got really deep stretch marks which are sore and red and purple and I get very embarrassed and upset about these.
