Glad that you are doing better. How much feeling do you have in your knees? Is this neuropathic pain or joint pain? What is the reason for the botox injection? Wise.

Dr.Wise,
Its joint muscle pain.as it has not stretched straight from many months so its very much paining.day by day pain is less but its very difficult to pass thru that.i have knee pain more utmost more in left leg.dont know y.Botox injections is recommended by Botox Doc as he feels that it is needed in thighs.Why Botox injections are bad doctor? Stem cells are still far? how many years still or months? shall i go for clinical trials which will be held in AIIMS ( All india institute of Medical & Science) indelhi this end of the month or next year..

Waiting for stem cells,
Shweta.

Shweta,

Congratulations on making it thru surgery. Glad it seemed to help. It is maddening to fix one thing, then find another problem right behind it.

Is the botox to fix pain or to loosen/deaden the knee joint muscles? Sounds like your range of motion has decreased and it will take some work to get it back.

Take it one day at a time and get as good as you can.
