I have suffered from spasticity for a number of years. I take a variety of different drugs but I am not sure if an of them work. As I am in a wheelchair it's impossible to do any exercise. I write all my status on a mobile with a stylus as I have limited use of my right arm.

I have started using botox injections and it has made my day to day life so much better. Has anyone else tried them? I would highly recommend!

yes you can get botox injections on the NHS, you can get them every 3 months, the effects last about 8 or 9 weeks in my experience..

@Deliag @Nishnish68 Thank you for helping a fellow member :)

Yes, you can indeed. You should ask your doctor about it next time you're in a for a check up.

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!
