I have CP and have periodical botulinum toxin inj in my legs performed by the consultant who manages my CP Care at the local hospital to help with my muscle spasms since '09. All seemed normal but by the time I got home from the hospital my L-foot felt numb. I normally experience flu like symptoms, aches and sickness but this AM my foot is numb. Is this normal? Should I contact my consultant? Thank-you in advance C
