Botox injections

My Orthopedic doctor has been using Botox injections on my neck, armpit, back and shoulders and the most sensitive, in my skull. The pain in my head and the base of my skull is VERY intense. It is hard to sit at a table and eat or anything that requires me to look down for very long. My question is: Has anyone else been given these shots and did they ultimately do any good? This is the second time (5 syringes and 16 needle pokes yikes!). I don't want to do this again if it is not going to help me.

By the way, today is my 45th birthday. Wish I were having a pain free day.

Thanks for any help,

Sue

I have not tried the Botox injections, so I can't answer to that. Maybe someone else can give you some input on their experience with it.

Again welcome to the group! Sending you many birthday hugs filled with love (((((HUGS))))

I am sorry to say that botox didn't work for me.

I will tell you that I didn't have a wrinkle in my forehead. I was beautiful (for about 2 months)

I am very glad to have found this group. It is hard to explain to family and friends how you are feeling. Sometimes I feel like they just don't get it. I do have a few questions and hope to find answers here.

Tonight however I will start with Hello. I don't think that I can handle the computer for very long. Think my heating pad is calling me.

Talk to you soon!

Sue

Why is your orthopedic doctor treating you for migraines?

Sandi

He also treats my knees and siatic nerve. Another Orthopedic Surgen does my spine injections L3L4L5.

(I also tested positive for ankylosing spondilitis this is why they are concerned about my spine and hips.

Maybe I have too many physicians in my kitchen.

You couldn't have gone to a better place or been with a better group of people for your birthdday than right here. (Although you can tell, we all get in such a hurry we forget to spell.) I used to try to go back and correct them, but I decided it added charm

Again, welcome,

Kathy

I have had 4 rounds of the botox injections. I feel they work better when I get them in the shoulder/traps area.

I had them done twice in my neck/hairline area of my skull & never again

I was not able to move my head/neck

So my Physiatrist has recommended me to another Physiatrist. I only saw him once so far & he wants to see my cervical scan before he does anything. I go back in May.
