Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Rheumatoid Arthritis "With the first shot I could touch my toes ,but it only lasted seven days. I am on second shot and it has been ten days and it's still working. I wake up at 5 every morning feeling refreshed. I look forward to my shot."

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Lichen Planus "I had two shots of kenalog 40, 1 month apart. The lichen planus went away but the side effects of the medication were horrible. Made me feel ill, achey, tired, gastritis, cystitis gave me irregular menstrual periods (every 2 weeks) and a huge dent on my butt cheek where administered. 5 months later, I still have some of the effects."

Zilretta (triamcinolone) for Osteoarthritis "Zilretta was a total disaster, I haven’t walked for a month. Felt sick within an hour after receiving Zilretta. I only hope this lasts the length Of the drug and doesn’t permanently damage my knees. THIS WAS NO MIRACLE. I’m a thousand times worse than I was."

Zilretta (triamcinolone) for Osteoarthritis "I have been getting Zilretta injections in both knees for about 18 months, the early injections were lasting 11-12 weeks, now I get about 8 weeks of relief starting about the second day after the injection. I now schedule almost injections exactly 12 weeks apart, I wish I could get them every 8 weeks and not have to deal with the pain for 4 weeks waiting for the next injection. I am 43 and need both knees replaced, it stinks but I am holding off as long as I can. I have seen no side effects of Zilretta."

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Psoriasis "My Dermatologist give me tiny injections under the skin on each plaque. My hands can get really bad. Usually by the next day or two they are gone. It lasts quite awhile. I also get injections of Kenalog plus numbing agent for severe muscle spasms from Fibromyalgia. The Pain Management doctor injects the muscles where the spasms are. By the next day I'm 90% better. Usually I only have to get these a few times a year. So Kenelog works really well for me."

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Osteoarthritis "Had Kenalog-40 injections shoulder, knees and base thumb joints. No side affects. Was able to get a full nights sleep finally. Experience aching only when it’s weather change. Too bad it doesn’t last longer"

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Allergic Rhinitis "I lost my sense of smell several years ago due to chronic sinusitis. In March 2017, I had a shot of Kenalog in my right hip, resulting in the restoration of my sense of smell. It was wonderful, but short-lived. The shot lasted 3 months, and my ENT will only give it once a year due to the chance of necrosis. I had my 2nd shot in mid April (almost 2 weeks ago) and unfortunately, my sense of smell did not return. Hoping that it will come back again."

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Lupus "I was in such pain from the multiple autoimmune diseases I have. When asked about my pain scale at my rheumatologist I said I had passed stage 10 ages ago. I literally didn't want to move, I hurt everywhere. My doctor said we would try kenalog 40. I was so incredibly pleased. I got fairly quick relief, and in several days was moving normally. I had no side effects I am aware of. This so far had been a success story for me. I had my 90 days shot a couple of weeks ago."

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Dermatitis "My quality of life before my Dermatologist gave me this drug was HORRIBLE! I was teased as a child, skin was so ugly, and I was told that I looked like the exorcist and elephant man combined. I went through 15 years of, supposedly, the best doctors on the East coast until this wonderful man of a Dermatologist introduced me to the Wonder drug! Kenalog has made me extremely happy with the results I've seen!"

Kenalog-10 (triamcinolone) for Alopecia "I noticed a small bald spot on my head in late March of this year, within a month there were 3 more, and by May I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. I was prescribed Clobetasol and Monoxidil topicals—which I used religiously twice a day for 6 weeks with no progress. Began Kenalog 10 injections in July, every 2 weeks, and by the third session I have regrowth!! No side effects, really minimally uncomfortable and definitely worth it to see those bare areas filling in!! I’ve now completed 4 sessions and the Doctor is quite pleased and we’re going to once a month going forward. Fingers crossed! "

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Dermatitis "I would never recommend kenalog. Went to doctor with chemical burns and doctor gave me extended release kenalog injection after prednisone . I broke out in hives and welts. l had horrible, intensely frightening thoughts, anxiety and depression for 18 months. Every d ay was a nighmare."

Zilretta (triamcinolone) for Osteoarthritis "I had an injection of Zilretta 3 years ago for arthritis in my right knee and so far I still am not experiencing pain. They tried cortisone and it didn’t work. I don’t know if three months is an estimate on how long it works but I’m going on 4 years and so far I am pain free."

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Psoriasis "My menstruation is totally out of control while on Kenalog injections (for psoriasis). It’s heavy as last 7-10 days vs 4-5 light days when I’m not on Kenalog. I was on it for a 6 mo period having injections every 4 weeks. Til I couldn’t take the heavy cycle and my hemoglobin dropped to 7. Last month I got back on the Kenalog because of the psoriasis was so bad and inflamed. Now the second set of injections this month my cycle is heavy already. Not sure what to do I’m very disappointed."

Zilretta (triamcinolone) for Osteoarthritis "Second injection relieved knee pain but not as good as first. The good results were less pain, more flexibility, and less swelling. The noticed side effects after the second shot were like an allergic reaction with moderate congestion, slight cough. My reaction immediately after receiving the injection was more noticeable than the first with flu like feelings for a few days. All in all the pain relief has been good but I am not sure about a third injection. It may be time to fix the problem rather than treat the symptoms."

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Gouty Arthritis "This is the worst treatment I have ever received. I have had mild hypertension over the years and actually had high pressure the day I received the shot for gout. The gout pain went away within hours, however 2 days after I had an anxiety attack (which I thought was a heart attack) and ended up in the ER. I have had anxiety attacks at night, sleeplessness, heart palpitations, irregular heartbeat, fatigue and dizziness. After about 3 1/2 weeks the side effects have started to go away. Of I could give this a 0 review I would. I do not recommend."

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Bursitis "I have Crow's feet tendonitis and this med was bad. It didn’t help with my condition at all. I suddenly have hot flashes, insomnia, heart palpitations, chest pain, and dizziness. I also had hallucinations that I had fleas and scratching myself in the days after. It has affected my vision and speech."

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Lupus "Best drug ever! I only wish it lasted longer. I get 80 mg every 3 months in alternating butt cheeks. Takes about 24 hours the wow I'm suddenly able to move again. Not total pain loss of course but much much better. No side affects. I have severe joint pain all over so this is a miracle drug for me! At about 2 1/2 months pain starts to creep back in. I wish I could get it monthly but Dr says it really should be every 4 months but is willing to give it to me every 3 months. I highly recommend!"

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Osteoarthritis "The second injection in the shoulder had completely different results. No shoulder pain but it increases intercostal muscle pain, back pain, abdomen pain, and leg spasticity from multiple sclerosis. The doctor was unaware of these documented potential side effects, and offered no help. Bad doctor, worse drug."

Zilretta (triamcinolone) for Osteoarthritis "Got first zilretta yesterday. No pain relief yesterday. Woke up today with almost no pain. So far best pain relief ever. My pain usually 4-7 Scale but today maybe 1 after doing errands and walking 3 stores. Praying it works for a few months."

Zilretta (triamcinolone) for Osteoarthritis "My doctor gave me Zilretta almost 7-8 months ago. I have osteoarthritis, my left knee is almost bone-on-bone. My doctor and Zilretta saved me from hell on earth. I thought that this medication must be a quick fix, no side effects, no icing the knee every 4 hours a day. But Zilretta is a force to be reckoned with; once injected in the knee, it goes where it's supposed to be. That's the power of Zilretta. God bless the mind and hands that created this miracle drug for people like me. I just got my second injection as I told you 7 or 8 months ago, and I am feeling relief. Since 11 am, it is now 6:15 pm, and I could walk at least 3 blocks. Zilretta is fast and to the point, no fuss, no muss, and I am a great-grandma; my great-granddaughter is in her first year of high school. She called me about an hour ago, asking how does your knee and you feel? Like a champ, she stated Zilretta again."

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Keloids "It worked for me for the moment. I got injected for over a year and the keloids got red and came back bigger. I got a big one on my chest and 3 on my back. And now when I get a pimple or a small scratch they turned to keloids after years later with no injections . I guess since it's in my body the scars turned red and now getting bigger and these 2 new ones were ,Never injected. It sucks I'm 36 and they don't stop growing."

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Rheumatoid Arthritis "I'm a 24 year old female and have had RA since I was 8 years old. I had 80mg IM injection in December and within 24 hours my face was red and burning. 5 months later I am still suffering the horrible side effects of this. I constantly have hot flushes, nausea, irregular menstrual cycles, unwanted hair growth. I have no idea if and when these symptoms will subside and completely regret taking it. With regards to my joint information it has eased the pain but I still have residual swelling. My fatigue has also worsened since the injection."

Zilretta (triamcinolone) for Osteoarthritis "Don’t bother with Zilretta. I have been getting conventional cortisone knee injections for several years - tried Zilretta in an attempt to reduce frequency of injections. Three weeks out and minimal relief compared to conventional cortisone. Now I have to wait several months before I can get regular cortisone again."

Zilretta (triamcinolone) for Osteoarthritis "I had a shot of this medication in my knee and I have had severe leg cramps and we I asked the doctor about how long the side effects were going to last he said 3 to 4 days. At this point I can hardly walk.. I definitely would not recommend this drug. Additionally I believe Cortizone is better in this stuff. Good night cramps are unbearable I drink a lot of water to stay hydrated."

Kenalog-40 (triamcinolone) for Allergic Reactions "I have used it for almost 8 years. I take one almost every month for treating a chronic skin disease, but it is unfortunate that recently I have been experiencing frequent urination at night, loss of weight. Yet the skin rash keeps on coming on a monthly interval after administration. I have observed unstable blood sugar. I can say that it works effectively for just a month interval."
