Monday our doctor injected 25% of my daughters botox dose into her healthy leg!!!!!! Has this happened to anyone else? What can happen to her? I am really worried that she will lose strength and her balance will be thrown off.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Also, have you found Botox to be helpful with young children. My daughter is 3.5 and this is her 3rd round. The first worked very well but we also went through series castings for 3 weeks and then had a night AFO.

The second round we didn't see ANY results!!! There was no casting and no AFO. The hospital staff was not on the ball enough to get their referals straight.

Now the third round. Casting will start next week but the AFO, that was finally made is killing her foot and it is impossible to get a fitting scheduled!!!!

Any advise!?!?!?!?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Colleen, Wisconsin
