Default Dystonyia in hand

I have this problem in my hand, I get botox shots in my arm to help it relax. My Dr. uses a nerve conduction test to see exactly where the muscles are he needs to inject, so I am getting several injectings up my hand and arm at one visit. It works for me, but I have read it doesn't work for everyone. I soak my hand and arm in warm epsom salts. The best thing to do is fill the bathtub and put 2 cups of salt in, put both arms down into the water next to you body and move the good hand, try to do the same movements with the dystonia hand. This took me several months beore my dystonia hand had much movement in it, but it help me get movement back. I just close my eyes, rested and try not to get upset at first, I know easier said than done.If Ali can't take a bath than a large bucket or babybath would work. I know how awful the PAIN is in the hand or foot or where dystonia decides to hitsNo one should have to experience pain like this, but it is unthinkable to me in a young person. Please know your family is in my prayers Carose
