Has anyone won any legal cases or any class action suits for improper administration of Kenalog? I've just noticed a golf ball size dent on my right buttock 2 months post kenalog 40mg shot for allergic reaction.
This happened in Scripps La Jolla Urgent Care. The hospital told me that it is permanent! A dermatologist confirmed that its likely to be permanent. On top of this I have irregular periods and lower back hip pain as other side effects.
Please advice.

Omg! The same thing happened to me. About six months ago I received an injection in my left buttock for poison ivy. Then a week ago in the shower I noticed this huge indention in the same cheek. I sure hope there is a cute for this.

I recently received a kenalog shot two months ago and now have a huge divot the size of a quarter on my lower back. the divot continues to get larger and larger. Insurance will not pay for cosmetic surgery. The neurosurgeon is completely negligent not informing me of the side effects of this injection. He should be the one paying for further medical care to repair what he has done. Had anyone obtained an attorney?

I thought I was going crazy until I found all these posts. So I received corticosteroid shots in my glute muscle/hip area for voice issues and now I'm noticing 1-2years a 1/2 inch crater or indentions in that area. There is no pain but there is total discoloration, in fact it's white. It happen one year on just the right side and now it's happening a year later on the left. It's pretty disturbing so I'm going to see a dermatologist.

I had a steriod injection to relieve swelling on a bone spur that I have to have removed. After about 6/8 weeks, I noticed the skin was breaking down at the site.  It is now over 3 months since the injection and the skin is peeling and sometimes very painful.  There is no indentation but I can hardly wear any shoes that touch that area.

C: Dear, I have same problem as you after Kenalog injection.
Doctor in clinic found out that I have fever (38,5C) and he decided to treat that with antibiotics and injection with corticosteroid Kenolog 40 mg.
I wasn't informed about side effects of cortisone injection.
2 months later I sow drainage in a skin (size 3cmx3cm), located in a place where injection was made.
I visited clinic in my hometown and dermatologist wrote an opinion that skin damage is permanent.
Based on dermatologist opinion I have acquired lipodystrophy of skin, fat and muscle from steroid injection.
Everyday is getting worse - now dreinge has around 17 cm, yesterday doctor said that Kenalog provocate lipodystrophy of gluteal muscle which is responsible of adduction and abduction of the right leg.
Is there any doctor specialized in side effects after this steroids? is there anything which can help to stop this lipodystrophy?

I have to say that I to have a divot on my hip but unlike many of you am thankful that a crater on my butt is even worth looking up online. I've had several steroid shots and never been warned but it has improved my health at the time. Are we that worried about appearances that we want the FDA to investigate something that's saves thousands of lives everyday because ever so often it causes a cosmetic issue. Tonight I go to bed thankful for my crater and the ability to breath that the shot gave me a few months ago.

Please tell me approximately how old are you. I am close to 60 years old and am afraid the older people get, the more difficult you will gain your cellulite back. Please reply! Thanks so much.
