Botox for TOS
Hello, I am new here and was curious if anyone could share their experiences with receiving botox treatment for TOS. I recently had shots in neck and pec minor muscles at MGH. Its only been a couple days but honestly I feel worse since the procedure so I'm a bit concerned naturally and just curious if anyone had a flare up initially with some benefits received later? I know this is a brief post but I'm happy to share my experiences and journey in replies
Thank you |

Hi there,
I have had Botox 2x and didn't react nor feel any difference or benefit from it. I think regular physiotherapy and massage probably works better! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |
Thank you. I found some info which was helpful. Sadly, I have not had a good experience with the botox injection. I know some people have and others have felt nothing but this definitely created a lot of muscle tension which is contributing to more pain. Injection was into scalene and pec minor, both sides. My neck feels ok and getting better. But I have pain in the pec minor now, and back rear shoulder, and left trap. Its only been a few days but pain is not changing or improving.
The hospital says this should pass and I want to believe them, but also concerned this made things worse and will have to deal with this for 3-4 months until it wears off. I would advise anyone to think about their symptoms before trying this. There is a chance it could make things worse. |
thank you for your reply.
