@Courtney_J Hello , I'm interested to know if anyone has had serious side effects after botox treatment . My wife had a stroke 15 years ago and her leg has gradually become more spasticated . She had botox treatment and 10 days after the treatment she had profound muscular weakness all over . It continues to this day , 4 weeks later . The doctor gave her lots of tests and can find nothing wrong with her . She has no other symptoms at all so our conclussion is that its a reaction to the botox treatment but the specialist who gave her it thinks it isnt . Has anybody out there had this reaction ?

I don't have personal experience with Botox injections for spasticity, but I know that it's a common treatment that many people have found helpful. It's frustrating that your consultant won't give you the treatment you're asking for, especially if your spasticity is severe enough to make walking difficult.
Have you considered getting a second opinion from another healthcare provider? For example, OnSite Med Spa has medical specialists in the botox sphere as well.

Wow, what an impressive project! It's incredible how you were able to reverse-engineer the protocol used by the hot tub to talk to the display and then use a Raspberry Pi to control the temperature remotely. Your attention to detail is incredible. It would be great for spas like rawbeautyaesthetics.com and other relaxing places. Thanks for sharing your project with us, and I would love to see your code if you are willing to share it!

I recommend that you consult with another specialist and also independently study the information for further rehabilitation. You can read articles on the blog of [This content has been moderated by an administrator] - a supplier of aesthetic products. I wish you a speedy recovery and good health.

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!
