A member asked:
How long does a 1cc injection of kenalog in the shoulder affect the immune system and is it safe to receive injections during this pandemic? thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immune effects: While the kenalog injection reduces inflammation, studies have shown it also suppresses the immune system for several weeks or, in some cases, even longer. During this period be vigilant about any infections you may develop and report unusual responses to your physician.
