I HAVE A 14 YEAR OLD SON THAT HAS JUST UNDERGONE HIS 5th SURGERY ON HIS HIPS, AND LAST SUMMER WAS THE FIRST TIME BOTX INJECTIONS WERE EVER BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION, KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT IT I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN, AND MADEA LIST OF EVERY QUESTION I COULD THINK OF AND GAVE IT TO THE DOCTOR FOR HIM TO ANSWER IN HIS OWN WORDS. ONE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR ME WAS "WILL THE INJECTIONS ACHIEVE ANYTHING MORE THAN INCREASED PHYSICAL THERAPY WOULD, AND IS THE INCREASED PHYSICAL THERAPY GOING TO BE JUST AS IMPORTANT WITH THESE INJECTIONS AS WITHOUT?" HIS EXACT WORDS TO ME WERE " THE INJECTIONS ARE JUST A JUMPSTART FOR THE MUSCLES TO LOOSEN AND MAKE IT EASIER TO MAXIMIZE THE PROGRESS OF MY SONS THERAPY SESSIONS" I OPTED NOT TO HAVE MY SON INJECTED, FOR I FELT THAT HIS ROAD IS TO BE A LONG ROAD TO RECOVERY WITH, OR WITHOUT THEM, AND I COULDNT SEE HIM IN ANYMORE PAIN, AND I DIDNT LIKE THE FACT THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPEATED EVERY SO OFTEN EITHER. MY SON HAS ACHIEVED EXACTLY THE SAME GOALS, WITH A MORE AGGRESSIVE THERAPY AND ALL THE SUPPORT IN THE WORLD FROM HIS FAMILY. BUT IM ONLY ONE PERSON, AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF MY SONS DISABILITY MAY BE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF YOURS, ALL I CAN SAY IS GO WITH YOUR GUT.
