I believe Botox caused Peripheral Neuropathy in my fingers and toes. Would the same reaction happen again and would it be worse?
WaterlilygirlOct 15, 2018
Three days after receiving 28 units of botox for crows feet and 3 units above my lip for horizontal smile line I experienced tingling and numbness in my fingers and toes. It peaked at about 10 days. The doctor said it was not possible it was the Botox. A neurologist did an MRI and extensive blood work. The results were negative for MS or autoimmune diseases. After 6 weeks the numbness and tingling went away. I would like botox again but I am concerned of recurring peripheral neuropathy issues.
