I had my first Botox injection in my foot for dystonia about 2 weeks ago.. I can't tell any benefit. I had 4 injections in my foot. The doctor said it would be about 5 days before I would seen any changes. The doctor was starting with a low dose for me. She reported that for some people the amount needs to be increased while others have no benefit. I am planning on having the Botox repeated in both my feat. I would like to try it some more to see it it helps. It is expensive for me, with my copay. I did some searching regarding the benefits of the treatment. It is very beneficial for cervical dystonia. The benefits for foot dystonia is less conclusive. Good luck.
