Re: Lat Dorsi spasms - Botox?
Yanyan,
I hope you do not have any problems. I have spoken to others who have had this procedure and they have not had this problem. At the beginning, my plastic surgeon said this is rather rare but he had seen it in others and it usually self-corrects. That is why we have waited so long to see if it would go away on its own. He also told me that if the Botox does not work, he can go in and clip a nerve. I am hoping I can skip any extra surgery. Thanks for your input!
Sandra
