Will you let me know if the Botox works for her neck? My mother's most severe symptoms are painful rigidity in the neck. Although, since her pallidotomy about 4 weeks ago the rigidity is not as severe.

It works when properly done in the muscles surrounding the eye. Barbara has had the injections three times. They last about 3-4 months. She has had one injection in the neck to see if it helps there. Still to be determined. I have not heard of it for constipation but since the effect is only for a few months it might be worth a try. Allanros
