Would Botox injections relieve or stop the tight painful muscles in my lower back?

Asked By:Tina1954Danner in Idaho Falls, ID

I currently receive trigger point injections, (about 25+ per appointment). They help for several days & then it's time to do it again. I understand that Botox is used for the face & bladder sometimes, lasting about 3 to 4 months. I'm wondering if it could relieve the knots & tension in my lower back muscles so I can function again. Or is that a bad idea in that area?
