I'm not at all familiar with that procedure so I won't pretend to give you advice. My son, however, had botox therapy several times and it worked well until he hit pre-adolescence. Then the botox couldn't really keep pace with his growth spurts. He recently had his heel cord lengthened surgically. Though he's still in a cast, it looks very promising. For the first time in his life he's getting a normal range of motion in his ankle and foot and getting his heel down to the floor.
Again, I have no idea if any of this applies to your situation. I offer it only as information that you and your parents or guardians might want to consider as you talk to your doctors.
Good luck!
