Advice & Tips
the BOTOX worked for me. It really reduced the tightness and cramping in my calves and help with foot drop. I am now using AFO's to help with the foot drop and improve gait.

Advice & Tips
I can tell really start to tell when the three months is coming up. My calves are a lot more spastic, and I have a propensity to trip/fall more. The VA this last treatment in October. Kinda of frequed them out on how much botox I get. Previously I had been getting treatment at the Mellen Center at CCF. The cost of my care has taken me to the VA. I will see the Docs at the Mellen Center periodically.

I had injections on 4/16/10. A little over 3 months. In the last three weeks or so I noticed increased foot drop and tripping. Falling 4 times in htat three weeks. Next treatment is scheculed for Oct 26th. Its been about 18 hours adn I see benefit already. Right calf (bad one) more jittery/crampy during shots-very bearable.

Botulinum toxin or "Botox" for short is a protein released by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and is the most poisonous naturally occurring substance in the world. Used medically, it can paralyze stiff muscles and is often used in the treatment of dystonia.
