I had exploratory and hysterectomy surgeries 40 years ago due to endometriosis. 20 years ago I began to have pain that is now severe and chronic. I have since had 2 surgeries to remove nerves and a couple procedures for scare tissue removal. The nerves have become entrapped in scar tissue. Can botox be used to kill these nerves and stop the pain?

Answer: Might work Several patients of mine had chronic pain from nerves in scar tissue such as you described. Botox can be very helpful in reducing these pains. Look for an experienced practitioner close to your home since dosage might take several tweaks to get right. Good luck!

Answer: Botox doesn't kill nerves Botox doesn't necessarily kill nerves. Instead, it blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles, but this is temporary. I'm so sorry you're dealing with chronic and severe pain. I haven't heard of botox being used on entrapped nerves to help stop the chronic pain. I would encouraged you to speak with possibly a neurologist (or if you have a pain doctor?) to see if they have heard anything about this. Best of luck, and maybe botox could help you, it is an amazing drug.
