Sounds like you had some nucrosis of tissue in your butt.BIGGER
I see your post was over a year ago. I hope you are recovered with no side effects.
The link you speak of is not in your comments at all.
My pain clinic used the term 'thinning of the skin'. I said 'you mean it eats away your flesh'. She smiled and nodded. I went back to an old doctor who gave me my first steroid shot and about 4 more before he retired for the same thing and he said it was given in the wrong place and probably not deep enough.
btw: it was supposed to be in the bursa sac on my left hip.

That very same thing is going on with me. Having some pain at injection site. I had the shot in the fall.
Were you given a toroidal shot for pain? I was given multiple toroidal shots and 1 steroid shor and now I have a huge painful indent and crater. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. I'm seriously considering showing this entire thread to my lawyer. I was never informed that this is was potential side effect as well. I can't believe how many people this has happened to and it seems not one of us was made aware of chance we could get a side effect resulting in a deformity. I'm starting to look complete lopsides. It hurts to do certain excessises like squats. I'm devastated reading some have got to the doctor and was told there is nothing that can be done to fix it. There has to be something!
Does yours also have lumps under the skin injection site?

Kenalog is a nightmare. This steroid should only be used for the most severe allergies or injuries, and only after all other treatments have failed. It should never be administered for mild cases. Ever. That is my opinion from years of research that I've done and from my personal experience.
It's been over ten years since my foot was injected with that poison called Kenalog, and I am disabled from it. I didn't even need an injection. I'm in pain in that foot all the time during my waking hours. My foot is now weak after all these years. It feels like my toes are going to dislocate. The top of my foot is slightly sunk in where I was injected, and there is no fatty tissue under my skin in the location of the injections. Part of the problem is due to the Kenalog injection and part is due to disuse atrophy from not being able to walk and stand much due to the pain that started with the injections. I used to be a physically active person before this happened.
The bad side effects started slowly and got worse over the years. My family doctor kept ignoring the atrophy and weakening of my foot. Specialists brushed off my symptoms. Some of those doctors were very defensive about Kenalog...I'd bet that's because they can earn thousands of $$$ per year administering steroid injections, so they don't want to admit that Kenalog can cause serious problems. It's all about the money for some of them.
For those of you with indentations that are purely cosmetic with no pain, consider yourselves very lucky. I know it is very upsetting to have an indentation, that it's awful to have this happen to you when you were fine before the injection, but if you have no pain, please don't let that indentation get in the way of living a full life. Get that indentation filled with a filler, if that would help you feel and look better.
If any of you have muscle and/or bone pain months after your injection(s), then that is something to keep a close eye on. Please don't let any doctor brush off your symptoms. Kenalog can damage fat tissue, muscle tissue, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, nerve tissue, and bone tissue. Even for people who don't have pain, you cannot see what's happening within the tissues that came into contact with Kenalog.

If you have an indentation without any pain, then don't let that get in the way of living your life. I can't stress this enough. You don't have pain. You can walk, you can go places, you can live a full life. What if you were me? I am in severe pain from my injections. I will never be able to take a vacation again. I can't take a walk any more. I can barely stand to prepare a meal. All of this from the injections which damaged my foot.
Focus on the fact that you don't have any physical pain. What would you do if you were in horrible pain and couldn't do any of your normal activities? I really empathize with you all, but I don't want you to realize before it's too late that you wasted so much time obsessing over your looks. Life is too short. We all have our physical flaws and scars, some more than others.
And none of us should have ever had bad side effects from the steroid injections. I wish there was something I could do to force doctors to obtain informed consent with their patients before injecting this poison. I'm sorry, I'm just upset that people are still being injected and having issues with indentations, etc. in 2017. I wish I could turn back time for all of us, so that we all could have refused that injection.

I don't care how we communicate I just really need to hear more about this. The same exact thing is happening to me except I was given kenalog in the right buttocks. Literally every symptom that you have i have. It has happened in the same time span as yours. Also I am going to through the same thing with doctors. Everyone is trying to cover type everyone else. I'm being told I need and MRI of a part of my back that doesn't even hurt because there is no way that the pain in having is from the giant hole taking over my lower back. The giant hole or divet has went from a tiny little bruise looking thing into a giant crater that spreadsonto my right hip, buttocks, spine, and lower back. Please help me.
did it ever get any better, and go away.
Did you find a solution? I have the same exact thing with pain amd burning at the injection site.
I have the same problem. Did your doctor pay for it to be corrected?
I heard that it is caused by the injection not being properly administered. So you aren't going to get much advice from the doctor who gave you the injection!
