Why does my shoulder hurt after missing my botox injection by two months for writers cramp?

anbrownjrJun 15, 2014
13 years I've gotten forearm injections f writers cramp. worked well & allowed me to keep my job. D iIsurance company delay took almost two months before I got approval. My shoulder began to hurt like it had done once before when I was late. This time though it has not gone away. So the pain has gone on for an additional 3 months since the last injection and am close to my next set of injections. My Neurologist doesn't know why and Allergan won't answer me directly. Where can I get an answer? Thank you

The length of duration for ANY injectable will be variable.Your body's metabolism is different from othe rpeoples and so the resulkts will vary.I suspec   that enough botox was not injected so go back to your doictor and have soem more units injected.t

Thank you for your question! When injected properly by an experienced provider at an acceptable dilution and with proper technique, Botox should last about four to five months. Occasionally it may last a little longer than 5 months. However, the repeated use of Botox makes each application work...

Botox takes about 4 hours for the botox to be fully in the muscle. If your riding is tight i would recommend waiting 3-4 hours, if it fits loose then you will be fine to wear it immediatly
