How Does Botox Feel?

In thighs in particular...does it make it hard to walk? Any sensation at all?

👋 this is Marilyn, I take Botox for my left leg, it really helps me control my left foot turning out to the left side. Being able to move it back to walking on the flat of my foot, instead of the left side like normal is awesome! 👏. I still get the 30 shots in my head for chronic migraines.

Nigel2 - I have the very same problem. I have been taking 300 mg gabapentin 4x per day. It helped somewhat with the cramping, but I am concerned about my cognitive decline since taking it and am considering other options, such as Botox.

Botox. How have I been able to avoid Botox treatment.? It seems like I’ve taken everything else. For a multitude of medical problems. I went to donate my body to science, and they just laughed at me.

Marilyn, that's really interesting what you say about your left ankle because mine does the same thing. I always thought it was because I had a fracture and a bad sprain several years ago and it made it weak in general. If Botox helps with that, that would be a huge step forward and correcting my gait. Thanks for sharing.
