I had botox done on both sides about 3.5 weeks ago. My experience is that it was not as bad as the nerve block, but I still had to take pain meds...especially to sleep. I didn't ice either time, but I also have two little kids (1 and 3) so it was just too much bother. My 1 yo is 26 lbs, and my 3yo is 35...so I totally understand!!

I also came to this board looking for poeple with experience with Botox. I would really like to hear how it goes for you- I hope you come back to tell.

Unfortunately they haven't done much for me .... : (

My neurologist said he has seen it take as a long as a month to kick in....so I have another few days before I give up.

I am interested to know, did you find the TOS problem came up for you during pregnancy and/or nursing? I think mine is partially due to the relaxing of connective tissue that happens during pregnancy. I understand now that you don't get back to normal until you quit nursing.

Keep us posted,
Johanna
