Hi,
Kenalog injection contains the steroid medication
triamcinolone, which is used to reduce inflammation and treat a variety of conditions such as
arthritis, allergies, and skin problems. However, like all medications, Kenalog injection can have side effects.
The symptoms you are experiencing, such as
high blood pressure, palpitations, and difficulty sleeping, could be side effects of the Kenalog injection. It is known that
steroids can cause changes in blood pressure and
heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping and muscle twitching.
However, it is also possible that these symptoms are unrelated to the Kenalog injection and may be due to other factors. It is important to continue working with your doctor to determine the cause of your symptoms and the best treatment plan.
If you are concerned that your medication is not working or that you are experiencing side effects, it is important to discuss this with your doctor. They may adjust your medication or recommend additional tests or treatments.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
