I have searched far and wide for a reference as to the pain clinic urban legend of 3mg/kg/year or some number for lifetime injection dosage of depomedrol/kenalog and can find no scientific source. The earliest allusion to this number appears to be a singular author that in 2002 quoted the 3mg/kg/year number without including a reference or any scientific/medical data to support such an assertion. The number appears to have materialized as an effort to define a standard or guideline without quoting any support for this number. Is there any truth to this number or is it simply a fabrication of wishful thinking that incorporated one author's self quoted opinion that has morphed into an urban legend?
