Yes!! Botox has been lifesaving for me! I was dx in 2010 at the age of 46. As my Parkinson’s progressed my toes would curl under so badly I actually broke bones in my feet. My husband would literally try to pry them straight, but could not do it. The episodes would last from 10 minutes to an hour. Extremely painful! So after two years of my neurologist’s Recommendation, I finally decided to try it. If done correctly, it works perfect for about three months or so. Not too painful either. If I didn’t have these treatments, I would probably be in a wheelchair, at least for part of every day. I wish I would’ve listened to my doctor sooner. I get three shots in each leg, but they have a machine they use that tells them exactly what muscle is contracting the most, and that is where she injects the Botox. Two in my calf and one on the top of my foot where it meets my leg. I highly recommend at least trying. Good luck.
