Yes!! It caused me to have Stage 3 Adhesive Arachnoiditis.

@tlatpeace Very sorry to hear this tlatpeace... How long ago did this happen? Is it clinically significant, another words, was it professionally diagnosed through imaging by a board certified neuroradiologist? How are you now?

[tlatpeace]

@EndDepoNowCampaign - Thank you. In 1997. Yes it was professionally diagnosed in 2011. I live daily with major pain and neuro deficits. I had more surgeries after that time, not knowing that I had it. Which of course caused the Arachnoiditis to escalate and come out of hiding.

Sadly, DepoMedrol is still being used by careless doctors who don't bother to look at the latest data.

Pharmicia/Upjohn was purchased by Pfizer. At the time of purchase, their legal dept was very concerned about their assumed liability with DepoMedrol.

[EndDepoNowCampaign]

The video was made in 1995. No there is not a class action at this time

[lcvac]

And is there another class suit ?

[lcvac]

How old is the video? Is upjohn still manufacturing it and is it still allowed to be distributed today? Or is there another manufacturer distributing it?

[lcvac]

I will pass it on DC. Do you have your website back on yet? You have no idea how many times I talked about depo medrol and your website! I still have some of your pages in one of my computers. Pls consider setting it up.

I walked into an orthopedic doctor's office complaining of minor pain in my upper right leg. Without anything to help confirm his diagnosis, (MRI etc), he acted on a hunch and gave me two L3&4 epidural steroid injections of Depo Medrol with Marcaine claiming it would "knock the pain" right out of me. Instead it landed in the hospital screaming in pain for several weeks. Turns out I was misdiagnosed. I had no disc herniation. It took 3 years to recover to the point that I could function. :(

@EndDepoNowCampaign Hello D.C. I am so happy to see you back online.

[EndDepoNowCampaign]

@lcvac Thanks : ) Yes it's been too long! There appears to be some movement in the media and from the FDA. Please pass the word, the EDNC needs everyones support more than ever! There will be more videos to come.

Depo Medrol is not FDA approved for epidural injection here in the USA. In fact there are no steroids that are.
