Thanks for the update. I am very interested on Donahue's take on the Botox.
I don't understand why repeated BOTOX can't be used to atrophy the scalene muscles so that there is no need to remove them??? |

I asked the same question. What he has seen is diminishing marginal returns. On each successive use of botox, it works less and less. Eventually you reach the point where it's not worth it anymore. I think he said he had one patient that just refused surgery and they did botox 18 TIMES! |

That's interesting.
I met someone who had the exact opposite experience. Each time she got Botox, she had longer and longer relief periods. Of course, she was doing PT and who knows what along with the botox.... |
