I have a workmans comp patient who was sent to me after being seen by a neurologist who recommended and was going to do Botox, but she refused cuz it sounded unusual. I was asked a 2nd opinion and to take over care. She fell out of a golf cart at work and has a couple cervical HNP's and some DJD which hasnt responded to conservative tx. I have done a few injections, but no long term response. In my support, they havent authorized synergistic PT with the injections, and i have stated that. RF might be next, but she is so frustrated that she hasnt come back.
Ironic that the neurology field has studies against what we do. Is there anything that goes against his recommendation of Botox? I said it would be an option after the injections. Now i may have to. So are there any studies about Botox and acute/chronic neck pain due to the above?
