Default Been there done this

Steff,
I suffer from Pudendal Neuropathy along with my sensory neuropathy. It makes terrible pain in my sit-down area on one side. I actually had botox injections in the muscle on the side where all the pain was. Horribly expensive and did absolutely no good whatsoever. Think about this long and hard.

What did the doctor hope to achieve by doing this? What muscle was he trying to get to relax? It's my understanding that botox is a powerful muscle relaxer.

Oh and I forgot.... My little grandson had a stroke about a year and half ago. It left him with the typical paralyzed side. He's regained pretty good motion with the leg, but the arm is drawn up into the usual arm and hand you see on someone who has had a stroke. They told us he has too much spasticity and tone in the arm. A way of saying the muscles are rigid. They tried Botox injections into his arm to relax it. Nada...no help at all. It did nothing.

Think about what you are doing and what is he trying to achieve?
