Re: Re: Botox and adductors?

[Guest guest]

About any lower body muscle can be affected by TC or other NTD's. Mine

were/are but not as bad as 10 years ago. When you try to walk and your

legs 'scissor' then your aductors are tight. For me all most all my

muscles on the right side from my waist down are tight and on the left

they are flaccid.

, I would think so because this is a HUGE issue for me and a few other

people I know.I was also told about hip bursitis.

I scheduled a consultation for this Saturday. How sad that I'm excited about a

doctors appointment

I think mine started before the surgery (major hip issues) and they are still

continuing. I am thinking it's because of the changes we go through in order to

sit/walk.. function.

Does surgically releasing the TC end these problems or are they considered

permanent regardless of surgery?

I think it would depend on the cause. If it is neurological in origin, then

(ideally) surgery would stop any progression, but will not reverse damage

that has already been done. If it is physical damage (such as abnormal wear

of the ball & socket joint of the hip) done due to an abnormal gait, then

surgery would not correct that.

My best guess is that surgery keeps the problems from getting worse. I

wish I had my surgery before I got as bad as I did. Over the past 14

years I have had many improvements but no cures.
