Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I wish I had known because I could have suggested my pain management doctor who does my blocks. He is in NH and at least he would have been closer to her. He is giving a presentation at the end of March for physical therapists and Botox will be one of the subjects covered. I see him tomorrow for my next impar block and I will ask him what he thinks about Botox and if they are helping his other patients. I know Botox was on the list for the next set of blocks for me if the impar blocks do not help. I do know that he gives Botox injections with regularity to his other patients. If he thought they might help me I would not hesitate for a second to have it done – that is how much trust I have in this doctor. He is one in a million – I don’t think there is another doctor like him. nne From: VulvarDisorders [mailto:VulvarDisorders ] On Behalf Of Kristy Sokoloski Sent: Monday, February 18, 2008 3:02 AM To: VulvarDisorders Subject: Re: injections Botox injections are sometimes used to try and relax pelvic floor muscles if PT doesn't help much or in addition to the PT. My friend did it because even though PT helped her some she had to stop doing it because insurance would no longer cover the treatments to try and help her spastic pelvic floor muscles. She was never officially diagnosed with vulvodynia but the pelvic floor issues came because of some other health issues related to the area. She did one Botox injection a couple months or so ago that was supposed to help reduce the spasming and it did not. It made it worse. It made it worse in that the spasms got even worse than they did before the injection. As for the doctor, the doctor was experienced in general with these but according to what she (my friend) said the doctor had not done this procedure often. The only other doctor that would have known how to do this as far as with regularity was in Iowa or some place, a place my friend who is in VT couldn't afford to go to.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Who is your Dr in NH? My urogyn. is in NH, and his pain specialist is out of the Elliot in Manchester.
