Botox injections

Story from nhs.uk

"Botox injections"

About: Leicester General Hospital / Neurology

I have been having botox injections in my disabled right leg for the past 3 years in Ward 1. The injections relax the lower leg muscles enabling me to walk far better without twisting my ankle. As the effects wear off after 14-15 weeks I was having these injections around this time. However, my pass two appointments have been 24 weeks and 29 weeks apart!

I am told this is due to lack of trained staff and funding !!

These long intervals cause me pain, discomfort and frustration due to lack of exercise.

Please can these clinics be ran more frequently?
