Can Kenalog Cause Blurred Vision?

Had 2 epidural injections of kenalog 80 mg in lumbar and 1 kenalog 80 in cervical spine. Same day as cervical injection I had sensation of blood rushing to my head and awful pain. I told dr about it and was blown off. 2 weeks later I was in a store while the blood rushing was going on and my speech was jumbled, vision blurred and balance off. I sat down and was ok 20 min later. A week and a half later I passed out due to the head rushing in Home Depot and went to ER where they did CT which was normal. A week later passed out again. Neurologist is totally dismissing kenalog even though Bristol Myers says right on their packaging of Kenalog that it is NOT to be used for epidural space and many of my symptoms are listed a number of times by others who have been injected with Kenelog.

hello there,
yes triamcinolone can cause your symptoms. triamcinolone is an corticosteroid, that might cause the adverse effects you are telling us.
