Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I have a 16 yr old daughter who has been diagnosed with CP and doctor recommends a botox injection to calf muscle and ankle to relax muscle and allow for greater movement. Right now she has limited mobility of her right foot. Has anyone heard about this and the pros and cons or other alternatives. I appreciate any info.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi I have heard of Botox for Cerebal Palsy sufferers - I did know a lady and they where going to treat her young daughter with the Botox - unfortunately I was unable to find out how the treatment went - Maybe someone else in the group can offer further advice. I am not sure of any issues you may have down the track with using Botox.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hi, When I was working as a home care nurse, several of my patients who had spasticity due to cerebral palsy and various disorders benefitted from botox injections with reduced pain and spasticity.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 A little boy with CP in my neighborhood had botox injections, and they actually did help him. He also had some operations. He still has issues with his legs, but by golly, Joseph is walking into grade 2 on his own feet!
