I was told that the area where my muscle spasm is would be too close to my spine. I get that because you don't know how far it might spread once it is inside you. i could wind up paralyzed.

Funny, I use my dog squeak balls as well. He doesn’t so I might as well! About the Botox: I have several areas where the muscles go into spasm very quickly, my left shoulder neck, my muscles below my lumbar back across my sacral joints, and other people use Botox for migraines, paralyzes the muscles for about 3 to 6 months so they stop going into spasm. When they come out of being paralyzed, you have to make sure you change your habits and restrengthen them or else they go back into spasm. My first Botox in my levator, scapula and trapezius areas lasted 10 years , the ones I get now last maybe a year before I have to go back and get more. I’m 67 and so my injuries from auto accidents, whiplashes and my round shoulders and curvature of the spine mean that my body muscles hold a lot of tension. There are private nerve centers , which do it, and there are pain management clinics that do it commonly for migraines. You have to see if the doctor will do it for your other less common areas. I am fortunate that I go to Ucsd for pain management and so they are more willing to try experimental stuff And apply as needed to get it covered. Before I had Medicare champ VA was my primary insurance and they happily covered it now that Medicare is first for me. It takes finding doctors that know how to do the billing. The Neurology centers that are privately run they know how to do the billing easily so I don’t have to worry about paying for it .
