I have been doing some research on different things that help with paralysis and I'm curious if anyone has tried the Botox treatments for paralysis and had it help with their pain levels. It seems that with the muscles being relaxed, there would be less pressure on the nerves...

Thanks! :)

Usually with pain centers, they want you to try all avenues of pain management, ie. medicines, before going on procedures or injections.

I've heard of botox injections for incontinence problems but the thing with botox is that you have to go back and get injections repeatedly
