Botox would most likely benefit the spasticity but be sure you consult a board certified neurologist for the treatment
Spasticity is a condition of excess tone in a body part. In this case, presumably in your leg. Spasticity may manifest as reduced function of an extremity or inability to get full range of motion at a certain joint, in this case your knee. Spasticity is considered a disorder of increase tone in muscle groups which is related to a dysfunction of the central nervous system, i.e., the brain or the spinal cord. In your case, there should not be any affliction of either, given than your problem area was the knee joint, that required replacement. In short, you should not have "spasticity" in your leg from knee joint replacement. Needless to say you should see your orthopedic surgeon and a physical therapist to convey your concern. Best wishes.
Thank you foryour question laps2kate. I am sorry to hear about your situation. Botox isa purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. Although Botox can be used elsewhere for neurologic symptoms, I would advise consulting with a neurologist to address this concern. Please consult witha doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
Thank you for your question. I am sorry this has happened to you. This is due to your Botox being placed too low below the crow’s feet and paralyzing your zygomaticus muscles (smile muscles). Unfortunately, Botox takes 3-4 months to wear off. I recommend you seek out a new injector.

Thank you for your question. It is no problem to wear a hat after Botox treatment. This does not cause enough pressure to affect the outcome. It is best to avoid massaging, rubbing or lying down for 4 hours after treatment. Also, avoid exercise up to 24 hours. Best of Luck!
Botox resistance occurs with number of patients but there are alternatives to Botox that can be used. As expected, those alternatives are not as popular because they cost more and there is greater discomfort after injection. I would suggest you to talk to your provider about Dysport and Myobloc....
Botox is only a temporary fix. Over time, the length between treatments will gradually become more extended but it won't be permanent. Chewing after Botox for masseter reduction has not effect on outcome.
