Overcoming Writer's Cramp | Focal Dystonia of the hand

Madam my doc told me to take botox injection, is this curable mam

[@therapywithdrprabhjot]

Botox helps in relaxing the muscles but the effects in writer's cramp are not well established.

Should we rest our hand or fingers frequently or just continue our daily activities

[@therapywithdrprabhjot]

Hello
Rest should be balanced with activities that lead to focal dystonia.

@@therapywithdrprabhjot its not the problem with the hand in writer's cramp,, actually the brain lost its cordination with the hand sending wrong messages to the hand resulting in involuntary hand and finger movement
