Dr I want to thank you for a life saving incident. I m 18yo, Yesterday my brother in law (sisters side) had a road accident..he was at backseat of motorbike & didn't wear helmet, when taken to a govt hospital the doctor said he is ok no need to to do any kind of diagnosis although he was bleeding from his crown & vomiting constantly, when I heard that I insisted 100 times that no doctor can say whether smtng is wrong without a diagnosis like MRI (This is one of the things I learnt from you❤️).. the next day when they did that..they found he had severe injury to the head & blood clot..which could've killed him. I m just thankfull to God that I have encountered you🥹..I m aspiring to be a doctor & human like you in the future ..God bless🫂❤️

Dr. Mike, as someone who has suffered with severe vaginismus, I'm so happy to see it mentioned in this video. There is not enough awareness of the condition, and many women try to painfully put up with it for years before seeking treatment, because of misinformation, shame, and thinking that sex is supposed to be painful for us, when that's just not supposed to be the case. Botox is one treatment that is used more as a secondary option and in conjunction with physical and/or mental therapy. So many suffer in silence. Hopefully this little bit of info can help someone.

Botox is also used in the vocal cords-when someone has aphonia due to paralysis of a vocal cord in the open position, Botox can be injected to help make the cord more closed, allowing the non paralyzed cord to make contact with it during phonation, thus restoring a person’s voice.

I have a super rare (and minor) medical condition that's been discovered in the past few years known as R-CPD. Essentially one of the muscles in my throat responsible for letting food go down and letting gas pass back up only works 'one way', so food can go down, but I'm almost entirely unable to burp or pass gas upwards. The results are gas bloating (sometimes painful cramps), weird digestive noises, and possible link to IBS (which I have), among a few other little things. The current treatment for it is to get a botox injection into the aforementioned muscle, which relaxes it and causes it to 'work properly'. I haven't gotten the treatment yet because only a few places do it, but yeah! Botox can be very useful.

RCPD gang. I’ve had the treatment once but need to get it again as the muscle stopped working properly after the Botox wore off. But guys while it was working it was life changing

I had Botox injected into my upper eye muscle to purposefully paralyze my eyelid. This was to help heal my cornea.

I have Tourette's Syndrome, causing tics similar to the movements of cervical dystonia, among others. When I went to the neurologist to talk to him about how bad my tics have gotten and told him how my neck and upper back muscles were constantly tense from those specific tics, he referred me to a place to get botox in the neck muscles. I am also saving money to get some in my jaw for my TMJ disorder. I have severe bruxism at even during the day at times, nothing has helped. My dentist told me to not take muscle relaxants since there's a risk it could make my jaw slide off completely. It's quite incredible how versatile it can be!

It’s also very effective for TMJ!

My grandma got Botox in her neck muscles due to dystonia from Parkinson’s, which would spasm and pull her head down. It was super beneficial in allowing those muscles to relax

Finding botox treatment for migraines completely changed my life. I was having at least one migraine a week and I had no life. I was constantly under the threat of disciplinary action from work due to time off sick. The agony was unbearable. I was eventually referred to the neurology department at my local hospital and, having looked at my history and all the drugs I'd been on, the consultant immediately recommended me for botox. I had my first injections done there and then. In the last 10 years, I've only had 8 migraines, which is nothing short of a miracle. I'm so unbelievably happy that I found this treatment.

Botox REALLY works for treating hyperhidrosis! Unfortunately for me, hyperhidrosis is considered an illness in the EU but NOT in Sweden where I live. I've gone through two treatments. The first one lasted 3-4 months, but the second lasted 15 WONDERFUL months! Initially after the first treatment, I had "ghost sweating", as it felt like I was severely sweating from my head, but when I touched it, it was completely dry! Living with hyperhidrosis means that you always need to have a few spare sets of clothing at work. Once I start sweating because of my condition, it can take 30-120 minutes before it stops, regardless of my environment. I can highly recommend botox as a treatment if you can afford it. My treatment consisted of 400-500 tiny injections on my head and torso, and took well over an hour each time.

Dr Mike is one of the best KZreadrs I have ever seen. I have so much more appreciation for medicine because of him. Thanks so much for your work.

I have hyperhydrosis (we believe it’s primary) and I am seeing a dermatologist for it. I’ve been dealing with this for a couple years and now started seeking help. I go though 5-6 shirts a day. So I can’t wear short sleeves or long sleeves(I wear long sleeve’s only if I need to.) So we tried antiseptics but none isn’t working. So we are now trying Botox and I get my first injection next week. And I honestly cannot wait

I'm physically disabled with Spina Bifida and I'm incontinent so I take medication wear adult diapers. Couple years ago I found out that Moss Rehab of Philadelphia have a Spina Bifida program and I get Botox treatment for my bladder. My sister is a stroke survivor but she has no movement on her left side so she gets Botox treatment on her left arm and leg.

It’s good to see that Dr. Mike is talking about this, people just hear one thing and then assume it covers everything, like with this, when in reality it doesn’t. Thank you Dr. Mike

I've received suggestion for botox as an off-label use to help with severe TMJ. Was expecting to see it on the list! 🤣 Truly the "dose makes the poison", as botulinum toxin is one of, if not the most potent neurotoxin known to exist. Wild!

I have something on a throat muscle (sorry for the lack of medical specific terms) that makes me unable to burp. Which sounds like not that important, but it causes some discomforting things to happen. For example, I can't drink beers or sodas because of the carbonated gas. Since I cant burp, the gas will just accumulate and it gets to a point where I can't even be standing up or breathe properly. That to say: the treatment for this condition, from what I've seen, is using botox to relax the throat muscles that allow for burping

Incredible to learn about the various applications of Botox, beyond just cosmetics. It's fascinating how medical science constantly evolves and finds new uses for existing treatments.

It makes sense that people getting botox would report reduced depression, especially if it's for cosmetic reasons. They're probably just less depressed because they're happier with their appearance, or because their medical problem has been helped by the botox in non-cosmetic cases.

Lots of my Tourette’s mates have had Botox to help reduce tics. I hate feeling restricted which is why I haven’t gone for it, but I know some find it gives them relief. I’m not exactly sure if it really does restrict the movement as much as my friend described it. And everyone is different. But with meds quite often having annoying side effects, for some botox is a really good option.

On the topic of Hyperhidrosis, I'd highly recommend Suction Curettage surgery, if the issues severe enough to warrant it. Botox for Hyperhidrosis is expensive and requires ongoing treatment, whereas suction curettage is just the one-off pricey payment, but the results are in my experience exactly what you'd expect the average person to sweat. There was concerns of my body needing to redirect the sweat to other glands for the body to thermoregulate, but it's been two years and I've had zero issues. I think it's the best decision I've ever made.

Thanks for the info D.R Mike😊🦖

It’s also used to treat a condition called Retrograde Cricopharyngeal Dysfunction. It’s a condition where you’re unable to burp, and mainly make weird gurgling noises or extreme bloating.

RCPD is a condition that cause the inability to burp. The current treatment is injecting Botox into the muscle that allows people to burp. I’ve had this done once and am going to get it again as it can take a few goes for the muscle to work correctly once the Botox wears off but it is super helpful for a surprisingly debilitating condition.

It's also used to treat gastroparisis. They do an upper endoscopy and inject the muscles in the bottom of the stomach to help relax the pyloric sphincter. This allows food that is normally trapped and not able to be digested to pass into the intestinal tract.

Thank you for the wonderful video!

It would be nice if there were more doctors who specialized in spasticity, it's not really common, but the use of Botox and things like phenol can really help treat people with extreme muscle tension and muscle spasms

Im talking to my dr abt botox for my underarm hyperhydrosis. My friend got it in HS and i thought she was crazy but now i know more about it its literally amazing that it can be used for such things!

I was born with Strabismus. My parents just said I had a couple surgeries to fix it, but now I know I may have gotten the Botox injections I never thought I'd get. 😅 Thanks!

I got treated for primary hyperhydrosis using botox. I was once morbidly obese, and I sweated a lot, but I always just thought the sweat was due to being obese, but when I lost the weight, I kept on sweating. It was a huge blow to my self-esteem, because even after losing all of that weight, I was still dripping sweat from my forehead. So I went to the doctor and got a diagnosis of primary focal hyperhydrosis, and he started out by prescribing some heavy duty anti-perspirants, but that ended up causing a rash on my skin instead. He then referred me to a botox clinic, who injected botox into the skin of my scalp and forehead, and it worked wonders. I still have to go in for new injections every few months, but my God, my self-esteem got a massive boost and I don't have to walk around worrying about when I'm going to break into a sweat.

I have a nerve-damaging condition and so I’ve had to have the Botox bladder injections. They’ve been quite helpful!

I have Spina Bifida and Botox injections into my bladder lining has been so helpful- I no longer need to take any medication for my bladder. Super grateful for it!

About its use for depression, I guess Joker never has depression. I see myself out.🤣
