Harrington rods and complications
Spine Health | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (54)Comment receiving replies
Hello. Cervical dystonia is your neck issue. I get Botox (medical) injections every 3 months. Have had them for over 30 years as I too have a Harrington rod placed age 15 and now am 60. It provides some relief with the twisting (deadens it), but it is all related to the spine and Harrington rod.
