Advice & Tips
The first 2 times that I received the Botox injections my arm was not rigid after being on it for 3 weeks. It wore off in three months so I had to go back for another injection. The third time I noticed that my arm was a little weak so we decreased my dosage this helped. Then in November of 2012 I received more injections including my shoulder at that time my arm was like I had a stroke I could not use it at all.. So in April 2013 we decided not to continue the Botox. I still have stiffness but I am able to use my arm .

The first few days are painful and feel like a bladder infection because of the rigid cystoscopy. The pain is worth it. My duration between Botox visits appears to be a 7-8 month timeframe.

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.
