Right now I am on a 10mg Butrans patch for pain and it really has helped me a lot, however I would prefer to be off all pain meds and am looking into Botox as a solution. I am reluctant to try it as there is a heavy out of pocket expense for me and I am concerned about putting something like that in my body.
Would love to hear back from anyone who has tried this and what it did or did not do for you.

I tried Botox In January and didn't feel significant pain relief until almost a month after I received the shot. I enjoyed about a month of pain relief before the pain gradually started to return. Botox did not last as long as I had hoped. I would have liked to try it one more time but ultimately decided surgery was what was necessary for me.
I also think in addition to pain relief that Botox can offer peace of mind...remind you that you are not crazy and your symptoms are real.
