Botox of Obturator Internus - question

[Patty]

Jax I don't go back for follow up. Time and $$ not well spent. I emailed the urogynecologist who recommended Stem cell but not covered by insurance ( nor was the Botox 1200.00 wasted). The GI doc who gave me one round of Botox said if it did not work he would give me double the dose. I declined. The lower dose caused me to be incontinent of stool for several weeks. If it helped my pain I could deal with this but it did nothing. Please know you are not alone in your pain.

Rc, Fritz told you a week? If I recall correctly, he told me 2-3 weeks for maximum effect. Hope that you feel some positive effects soon.

So sorry it does not appear to be working, RC. Thanks for the report.

I didn't try Botox but I wanted to respond to what you said about having a flare-up after the OI was worked on. I also had a flare-up after the PT worked on my OI muscle. I asked my gyn about trying Botox and she said it is just a temporary fix and discouraged me from trying it. But if it were to provide several months of pain relief I think it would be worth it.

When you had pne did you have numbness in your genital areas?

Mostly pain with a little bit of numbness at times.
