- Advice & Tips
- It initially was very effective but the last treatment left me unable to bear weight and extreme pain. I had to increase my muscle relaxant and am no longer taking Botox every 3 months. On Hold for now- will start again only if needed.

- Advice & Tips
- I definitely think it was well worth trying. Its effectiveness lasted nearly 3 months for me so it can be costly. If I hadn't tried it I would not be able to participate in the exercise program I am in and I think I wouldn't be very active mobility wise without it. Next week I will have my injections and am really looking forward to eat as I am back to constant back pain and my gait is becoming more rigid again. I am going to request a higher dosage hoping it will relax my leg even more this round.

- Advice & Tips
- This treatment is costly but definitely worth the money. It was a bit tender in the area injected for a couple weeks but other then that I was so happy with the ability to straighten my leg on my awakening in the morning without having to massage and exercise my leg. I actually was pain free in my lower back for about 6 weeks and even now have miniml discomfort.
