Spotting Following Cortisone Injection
Women's Health | Last Active: 8 hours ago | Replies (113)Comment receiving replies
I am 66 postmenopausal for 12 years. I have now had 2 episodes of post knee injection bleeding 10-12 days after Kenalog(triamcinolone acetonide) injections on my knee (11-28-22 and 3-16-23). I had a D&C in May of 2022 and follow up Ultra sounds and PAPs in Oct. of 2022. I saw my Gynecologist after the first episode and was told this is not uncommon, but we will watch to see if anything else develops. I was surprised when it happened the second time. I have had other injections in my back with a different steroid with no bleeding. Unfortunately the Orthopedics' office only uses Kenalog for knee injections. So I am left to find a different route for knee pain. Which is unfortunate because the Kenalog worked well. They have suggested Hyaluronic Acid injections. I hope this post helps

I am getting now a lubricant injections for my knees twice a year rather then cortisone and it works for me
Same. Received Kenalog injections twice. Both times had post menopausal bleeding that started 2 weeks after the injection. I went through menopause 12 years ago. My dr has ordered an ultrasound which will be done asap!

My dr used depo-medrol for my knee injections but used Kenalog for my shoulder injection. I bled after the shoulder injections. Now I want to find out what my spine dr used when I had back injections because I also bled after those. I want to see if the side effect is more common with Kenalog. And wondering if it is still safe, despite the bleeding side effect.
