My First Botox Injection

06 Sep 2007 4:48 (Edited: 06 Sep 2007 4:48)

Yesterday i had my first botox injection and i was dying of anticipation. I have been waiting to see what all the new fuss is about on how it can improve a person with my Cerebral Palsy.

We went to the hospital and i had to wait for my dad to purchase to get the drug from the pharmacy (drug store) and it took forever for him to acquire it.

He went at 1:30 and came back at 2:15 with the injection. So you could imagine the nervous tension i had waiting for him to arrive with the drug. I really wanted it to be quick but waiting for dad to come back really dragged it out.

He finally came back and the injections commenced and i had four in the right leg and one injection in the left and the injection it self was like any normal prick at first until the medicine takes effect and pours into the musscle. When it did that and went into the musscle it contracted the mussle and it hurt for like 1 to 2 seconds and then just went away.

I just had to make sure i was breathing in and out to make sure the blood flow is still circulating.

After i had it all and then i was nervous getting up cause i wanted to make sure i could still walk. Well the first good sign was that i still had feeling in both legs and i gradually got up and then stood eventually and took my first step that was kewl it was a bit rough but i knew that the drug was still circulating into the mussle etc.. After awhile i felt and subconsuisly my right foots heal would just go down. I did not have to think about it.

I got another appt for the physio on the 14 sept. I have many stretches to do and see how that goes. I still am walking flat footed which is great.

keep ypu posed on that.

    Wow that's interesting. I hadn't heard of it used for that. I hope it continues to be good and helpful for you. Your dad purchased it? Does a doctor or nurse inject it or do you have to?

    Yeah, very interesting. I thought it was just used cosmetically for women worried about wrinkles on their face. When I read the title, I wondered, "what on earth is this guy doing using botox."

    Now I see.

    So without the botox your heels do not touch the ground unless you force them to?
