rj: I have heard of someone who experienced a similar problem. I can't remember all the details, but I think they had botox in their scalenes. They were lifting objects for a medical review and the scapula felt like it fell off, hanging. Not to scare you as you don't know your situation, but I think they had to have a brace made to stabilize the scap.

This story is one reason why I have never elected injections. In fact, I was just asking a physiatrist about this as he had suggested possible trigger point injections w/ botox to follow. He explained the injections are suppose to stop the mis-communication between the muscle and the spinal column to continually be in contraction. I asked him about the muscles that now needed to pick-up the slack of those not working and I got a wishy-washy response which didn't leave me feeling sold on the idea just yet.

I hope the PT has positive news for you and it's all OK.
