Does Kenalog Injection Cause Any Weight Gain?

I got a Kenalog injection 2 weeks ago in my lumbar spine for bulging discs and the pain from the bulges is still present and I have gained 10 lbs. does it need more time to take full effect and will the weight come back off? My diet has not changed. Thanks!

Weight gain is a possible side effect. Nonetheless, does this dose ease some of your symptoms. Nonetheless I believe the injection side effects should subside from 1-2 weeks after injection, thus you should no longer feel these effects. As such you must decide, are the benefits outweighing the side effects. I suggest hydration and diet alteration with less carbohydrates, and more proteins and fats. Coupled with possible half day-full day periods of fasting, I assure you, you will see weight loss and or maintenance with feelings of increased energy. Warm Regards.
