A member asked:

I have always had a normal period lasting no longer than 5-6 days, it has lasted 19 days as of today, can it be a side effect of a kenelog shot?

Yes: Steroid injections are notorious for disturbing the menstrual cycle. Hopefully within a month or two you'll be back on track. If not, see your gyn doc.
