I thought that I would give an update on what’s been going on with me for the past 3 weeks.
About 3 weeks ago, I got Botox in my masseters and my temples by my TMJ specialist. It took about a week for things to take effect, and I needed 10 more units for each cheek. She recommended that I start going to Physical Therapy. I had been having so much pain in my neck and my head pretty much every day.
Physical therapy has been going okay. I’ve been going for 2 weeks, and just last week I noticed that some of my pain is getting better. I’m doing a lot of neck and jaw exercises, as well as back exercises too.
My appt with the ES doctor is in 2 weeks, and I’m really curious about how that will go.
I will keep everyone updated once I know more! I hope everyone is doing well!! Let me know how you all have been doing!
I’m glad that the botox has helped a bit, and the PT too! That’s good to hear, I think that others haven’t always has benefits from it…
Look forward to seeing what happens at your appointment soon, I can’t remember if you’ve said who you’re seeing?
@Kgreene - Thank you for your update. I’m so glad you’re getting some symptoms relief from PT & that the botox injections helped, too.
Two weeks isn’t too far away for your ES appointment. You’ve waited quite a while already, so I’ll be praying it’s fruitful & Dr. Campbell agrees to do surgery so you can start on the road to recovery soon. Please let us know if/when you have a surgery date so we can pray for you.
