Oh, don't worry, it's no effort for me to look it up myself.
Problem is, I don't really find any single posting a very persuasive argument. I think I'll make an appointment with my pain specialist for some advice on that. Will post back any result.
Incidentally, I can't see why botoxing the prostate would do anything very positive. Surely the prostate, generally speaking, is not the malfunctioning organ here.

Not sure if he injected in the prostate.
Think it was a muscle...
Think it was a muscle...
Age:37 | Onset Age: 35 | Symptoms: pain in testicles that comes and goes that also switches sides-trying to find a pattern as to "why" this happens/Rectal Burn at the 6 O'clock position at my anus which tends to flare around the periphery of my anus typically after defication but no perineum pain-no "golf ball" pain. Pain in testicles worsens as I sit but not always...Pain is not always present but depresses me. Pain used to be at a very high level but has subsided in time to a low level but has not gone away. Pain used to flare after sex but not as much as before although it still like playing russian roulette./

Yup, not in the prostate but in the muscle.Rufus wrote:Not sure if he injected in the prostate.

This reminded me of an article I just read last month, here you go:
The article can be found here:Chancellor uses Botox off label to relieve muscle spasms in the pelvic floor and to manage enlarged prostate.

I think it's a viable treatment alternative that's worth a look.
