Hi Julie and all, I wrote a column for New Mobility about Botox for bladder spasms. The FDA officially approved Botox for bladder spasms in 2011. Here is the link to my column: http://www.newmobility.com/articleView.cfm?id=11987
I've had Botox injections in my quadricep muscles two different times when I had fractured a femur and the broken bone was creating muscle spasms. The botox stopped the spasms, but only lasted about 4 months. Botox injections to quiet the bladder seem to last longer.
