botox injections for PN
Re: botox injections for PN
I posted this in another thread, yes it helps some people...
I quote :Hi
I just wanted to post and update that my daughter LIz has been successfully treated with Botox injected into her Pudendal Nerve,by Dr Michael Hibner in Arizona. This stopped the 24/7 pain off the charts, like labor pain or worse.
She has a pacemaker for urgency and frequently. Down to a few ok drugs, and has her doctors permission to get pregnant
So, just to let you know of a good case of Botox helping.
