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🫂❤️
This is such an amazing story! I’m so glad he’s safe!
Wow I really hope he sees this comment! Very glad you pushed for that test!
I'm so glad you stood up for your family member! I hope healing is swift, and I imagine he won't be forgetting a helmet after this ❤
Liar
Ay man, thats some good stuff right there, hope yout bro in law gets good 💪❤
My mom has chronic migraines, and she gets Botox for it. I feel like recently she is finally feeling some relief. Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there! My mom is so strong for dealing with all these migraines all the time and still putting me and my brother first. I love her sm
Yeah this was one of the things I was given for migraines too. Didn't work for me, cafergot did, but I know it is like a miracle to a lot of people with chronic migraines.
I love that you shouted out to your mom. Migraines are no joke. I'm glad your mom is getting some relief.
So glad your mom is getting help. I had terrible migraines in my 30s and 40s and they are not just little headaches. You don't know how awful they are until you've had one.
YESS 53TH LIKE!
My mom gets this too! She is always kind of upset after however because she can’t be in direct sunlight for a certain amount of days after.
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.
I have also suffered through this condition and thought I was the only one. I’m glad he mentioned it as like you said, so many women suffer without getting the help they need.
Me too! I was just about to leave a comment saying the same haha
Me too! I was just about to leave a comment saying the same haha
Definitely glad it's on the list , hopefully someone like me can give birth someday without having pain trying
I have this too I use dialators to help stretch and it helps but I would rather not have to use them to not have pain maybe Botox is something that I will try
I work for a Neurologist and we are heavily using it to help with migraine patients. I can happily say, about 95% of our patients notice a huge difference ☺️. However, our government in Canada does not support this treatment, therefore does not want to assist in helping patients to pay for it. So a lot of times, patients need to have extended benefits to cover the majority of the cost, in order to get it.
Can you do it for children?
@@Paws_On_Cloudsyou have to be 18+ to get botox
@@Paws_On_Clouds I can't give you medical advice, you'll need to speak with your local Neurologist.
Canada's healthcare system continuing to prove it's nowhere near as good as its pr would like you to believe, living here sucks man
@@ImStarbyter there's absolutely room for improvement. We as Canadians are far too apathetic about pushing our politicians to work properly for us, and while I'm glad we can do things like get cancer treatments covered, there's definitely more that we can do.
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.
wow that's amazing
I don’t want to know how they figured that one out 💀
Thank you for sharing this! We use Botox often in our laryngology clinic and came here to say the same thing! 💚💚
@@Lilpeepkinnprobably just testing different things to see if it helps
My grandmother went through this for years to address her vocal cord spasms. She always felt “breathless” initially but within days….sweet relief.
She was a gem.
I don’t have her spasms but I use just as much Botox under my arms!!
I get botox for my chronic migraines and it has changed my life for the better! It's not a cure, but I went from having 15-20 headache days per month to about 5-10.
How many sessions have you done so far?
@@SamanthaCorrie18 I've done it every twelve weeks for a couple of years, so I'd guess around 20 sessions.
@@Amaonsbru that's amazing ☺️. It's hard to stay committed for that long but, I'm happy that it's working for you
That's incredible, I'm so happy it's been so helpful for you!

I am so glad someone has brought attention to the benefits and medical uses for botox, rather than simply bad mouthing the cosmetic procedures of botox. Thank you for doing what you do Dr Mike!
Its not the cosmetic use thats concerning. Its highly toxic. You inject botulism into your skin. Botulism kills.

they're separate things
Why are you glad? Who cares about a brand name lmao?
Yes! My daughter has had Botox injections done in her shoulder joints along with casting of her shoulder/arm to treat the nerve injury in her arm.
As a stroke survivor I am so grateful for Botox treatment which helps my spastic arm muscles to loosen enough for my hand to open.
I'm so glad you can get the help you need🫶🏻🫶🏻
My mom has a TBI and we're eagerly waiting on her first treatment! Our area doesn't have many neurologists, so the wait time is ridiculous.
@@anniesama5729 that's so good🫶🏻🫶🏻
When I started getting botox for spasticity, I had to fight to open my hand; now, I can’t close my hand.
A note about bladder and pelvic floor Botox: it is most ideal when combined with pelvic floor physical therapy ❤️
Yes! Thank you for saying this. Pt saved me from having to get Botox haha I didn't fancy having needles up there...
@@Ford_prefect_42 I’ve been thinking about Botox with PT this time because I didn’t make much progress with PT alone :(
@@annawood8912 ugh I'm so sorry. I definitely didn't get 100% results but where I got to I'm satisfied... I really wish they'd take our issues more seriously in the medical community. I hope you find relief, friend

I’ve been getting quarterly Botox for chronic migraines for about a year now and the severity of the headaches has become so manageable. It’s life changing.
My vocal cords slam shut when I have a severe sudden onset asthma attack. They wanted to try Botox on my vocal cords. I went with OT instead, learning how to breath through a severe attack to keep the vocal cords from shutting and me from blacking out and falling. I am a singer and feared losing control over my voice if I took the injections. Thanks for covering this
Oh wow! I have vocal cord dysfunction too that makes my vocal cords shuts when I run! I thought it was rare but I guess it’s more common than I realized.
@@kengineer12 I have mastocytosis and that's the engine driving the patched up old car wreck that is my body! Sorry you have the vocal cord dysfunction because it's not a picnic!
My friend uses this for her chronic migraines. My migraines aren't frequent enough to warrant it. However, I have multiple sclerosis and just had my second Botox treatment for my bladder yesterday. Complete lifechanger. I told my fellow MS Warriors that it is a miracle of modern science. I highly recommend it. No need to sit and suffer in silence when help is available. 🧡💜🧡
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.
I had RCPD! Had the procedure done with the Botox injection from Dr. Hoesli at Bastian Voice Institute in 2020. Life changing!
I have this too. And I hate it, super uncomfortable. I can't drink carbonated beverages, such as beer or soda
@@leonardocardoso1627 Yep same here brother lol
Omg me too! I just mentioned it! I gurgle like hell and it gets painful. Do you get really painful hiccups too?
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!
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
Dr Mike is one of the best RUclipsrs I have ever seen. I have so much more appreciation for medicine because of him. Thanks so much for your work.
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.
It’s also very effective for TMJ!
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
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.
I love watching u. Nothing more, Nothing less! You keep your videos fun, yet we still learn from u! Keep it up.
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.
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
Well, you learn something new every day, especially after watching a Doctor Mike Video. I'm an Australian Nurse and I hadn't even heard of Haytox until Doctor Mike mentioned it.
As someone who has vaginismus, I’m so glad you mentioned it! I feel like so many people have never heard of it. I wish I’d known about sooner. I’ve been looking into getting Botox to treat it, but I’m nervous about it
LETS GOOOOO DOCTOR MIKE POSTED!!!
Обожаю твои видео!!!!
This is a good video; these types of videos are why I subscribed to this channel. Thank you for putting a a good video as oppposed to the other ones I generally don't like.
Dr Mike, your voice sounds a bit hoarse. Are you OK?
I was thinking the same thing
For me, Today was difficult af and I was waiting for Dr. Mike’s new video the whole day to watch it during my break. Thank you sooo much for posting this💚😭
U sound sick u ok?
Thanks for the info D.R Mike😊🦖
Doctor Mike, get well soon🫶.
I appreciate your dedication 🥰
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!
Oh wow I didn't know this! Thanks for posting
Thank you for the wonderful video!
Love ur vids Dr Mike, excited to watch this one 👍
At the end Mike had the most adorable smile 🥰
This was really informative,thank you Dr Mike. ❤❤😊
Watching your videos really inspires me to be a doctor. I wanna be like you.
Thank you for sharing! 💚 It also can be used to help w facial paralysis brought about by stroke and Bell’s Palsy (we use it often in our laryngology clinic)
Kim Kardashian must be the healthiest person in the world rn
😂😂😂
I suspect that she wishes that she hadn't chronically used tanning beds.
This was super interesting! Thanks Dr Mike!
Love the vids bro, keep up the good work 👍
This is too perfect and informative…it deserves more than a like!
Hey doc, can you talk a bit about bulimia nervosa as a ED
I'm so glad someone finally talks about this!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just suggested botox to my gf, because she has an overactive bladder issue and takes madication for it... Do you think it might help her?
Update:
She told me she already had this done, but after the botox had worn off her state went back to what it was before, so I suppose it doesn't work for everybody ;_; But at least I learned something new about the love of my life and I can support her with my new knowledge ♥️ Thank you for such informative videos!
Great video!
I learned some new things in this video as a microbiologist,I didn't know that botox is obtained from a bacteria. Also thank you for all your efforts doing these great videos despite your busy schedule. Thanks Dr.Mike appreciate it!
I have neurogenic bladder and urge issues I get botox injected into my bladder it has helped so much a great video bringing awareness
My son also has same condition and has had Botox in he’s bladder yearly. It has helped him so much and is like a normal teenager now (for better or worse 😂)
Dr mikes videos are a true amalgamation of educational and entertaining!
Alan Scott! I love finding real persons with comic book character names 👍🏽
I have hyperrhidrosis and I’ve been thinking of getting Botox. Thanks for the info! ❤️
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. It’s injected into some muscles in the throat because they won’t relax to allow a burp. It’s causes a few other problems like difficulty vomiting and throat pain.
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!
3:00 I had this done for my armpits and some of my face as I sweat alot and it ruins my outfits and makeup sometimes, they like put powder on me that turned purple when I would sweat and then they like injected the botox around those areas to target the sweaty spots.
Lasted a fair few months with significantly less sweating
Also for TMJ too!! Helps release tension in jaw bone 🦷
I love your videos SOO much Doctor Mike!!!! They're EXTREMELY entertaining and informative at the same time! Your videos allow me to understand much more about medicine!❤❤❤❤❤❤
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
damn. I cant burp either
Someone a few comments up just commented the same issue, interesting
Another commenter above

@@kosarjavadian1664It’s not that well known, it can be misdiagnosed as a reflux disorder.
it's also used off-label for PGAD (persistant genital arousal) by freezing the nerves around the clitoris and labia to prevent oversensitivity. I believe you watched a doctor prescribe it in an episode about rare conditions you commented on
Love the video ❤
Kan gallium be used to make thermometers?
I like these information vids
I’ve suffered from overactive bladder, on April 30th I got Botox surgery and I can say it doesn’t hurt:3!
I love the intro it's super informative
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.
love u doctor mike iam a medical student and one of your old followers from algeria ,,,,,,
Thank you.@doctor mike.
I really had no idea. Thank you for educating me today, товарищ
I have a whole bunch of Botox around my head to try and reduce my ridiculous migraines.
But I am hoping to look into getting it for TMJ as well.
I really like doctor Mike's channel its makes medicine so much simple and fun :)
Person with vaginismus here. I hope Botox for this condition gets FDA approved soon and more insurances start taking it seriously, and accepting to pay for it. I’ve had the condition for years and unfortunately have never overcome it with traditional PT/Stretching/Dilation. It may be my last resort but could be expensive if my insurance doesn’t cover it. Thanks for talking about this condition! ❤️
Have you tried topical treatments? Lidocaine or Estrogen, for example? I'm not a medical professional, btw. I just have similar experiences (ultimately I was diagnosed with adenomyosis, it just presents differently depending on the day I guess). Someone I know had some relief with a medication usually prescribed for diabetic nerve pain.
Hope you find relief soon!!
I didn’t know Botox could also help with bladder issues! I’ve had problems with frequent urination, urgent urination, and urinary incontinence my whole life but never found a good, effective solution. I’ll definitely bring this up during my next urology appointment!
Dr Mike, I was wondering if you could do a video on strabismus. I’d really love to be able to find more stuff to relate to, as well as knowing if I could suggest anything in my appointments. I’d really enjoy watching it, would it be a possible video of the future?
I have TMJ Dysfunction and had botox on Monday for it. Fingers crossed it helps!🤞🏼
I LOVE UR VIDEOS
Would love to hear you do a video on off label naltrexone use. My doctor has been using it as an “experimental” pain treatment
Big fan of you ❤ & support from india 🇮🇳
Love your videos, they always educate me about medicine and scienc3
How do I know if it's hyperhidrosis or just slightly more sweating than normal?
I have a nerve-damaging condition and so I’ve had to have the Botox bladder injections. They’ve been quite helpful!
My mother has hemicrania continua, which is basically a constant headache on one side of the head, and she gets Botox every few months. It really helps her and I'm glad it does. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.
It is also used to treat R-CPD (Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction) aka the no burp syndrome. I also suffer from it but I yet to get it because it's a relatively new thing for medical science and there is only a handful of doctors who are doing it.
R-CPD is basically caused by the upper esophageal sphincter not relaxing when the gases trying to exit thus causing overpressure in the esophagus and the stomach. This can be very uncomfortable and/or painful. It's most likely that the sphincter itself works just fine (swallowing is not a problem at all) but the neurological connection for burping never developed. Getting the botox can solve the issue as it relaxes the muscle and the experience of burping by this added help may be enough to build a connection so it can even solve the problem for a lifetime for most people.
Really cool info thank u
THANK YOU for bringing up the benefits of Botox and depression.
The studies I’ve read discuss the connection between the paralysis of corregator muscles and decreased activity in the amygdala.
3:45 thats me. I have lived with an overactive bladder my whole life and yes all he says is true. The spasms, not being able to hold urine sometimes and frequent uti’s. My specialist suggested botox but it was extremely painful to recover from because my bladder wall is so thick. I have one kidney so certain medications I can’t have or it could damage it. Thank you dr mike for covering this, I haven’t heard of anyone else with my experiences.
It wasn’t mentioned here but I know it’s also used for teeth grinding. I’ve been debating whether I should get it for my teeth grinding or not because I get so paranoid about the damage being done to my teeth even though I have a night guard.
I work in GI and we often inject into the gastric pylorus to treat gastroparesis. The idea is that the pyloric sphincter will stay open and promote the food to moving into the intestines instead of just staying in the stomach for a prolonged amount of time.
I came here looking for this comment. I have gastroparesis (likely because I also have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) and had a GPOEM procedure done a few years ago after a "trial run" of Botox. It was very much a "it can't get much worse than this, so I might as well try it" decision, but it ended up being a very good one.
I got it for horrible jaw pain from really bad clenching a few years ago and omg it was THE BEST! Even though the muscle paralysis only lasted about 6-9 months, the pain from the near constant clenching has only started to come back in the last couple months, 3years later.
Hey Dr. Mike, since you mentioned it, could you cover hyperhidrosis in a video? I appreciate how in depth your videos are, and I would love to hear your take on it. Especially treatments like Botox and iontophoresis devices.
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!
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!
Hey Doctor Mike, I have a Question : I have strech marks all over my body from armpit/shoulder to hip to tigh to crotch to upper leg and more. Ive read that they arent "bad" other than maybe look bad and i dont mind them at all. Im fairly trained and they just started forming more and more over the years. Im 23 now and i was wondering if i should still see a dermatoligist or how u spell that and get it checked or if its really just the visual with them being semi translusant etc. much love if u could answer
Dr. Mike makes me smile like no other man❤
I didn’t know about many of these uses. The only one I knew about was for muscle spasticity. I follow a lot of cerebral palsy groups online. My son has CP but he has low muscle tone rather than spasticity.
It is used to treat Interstitial Cystitis also. It didn’t help me well but there is a whole IC community that is benefiting from this!
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.
about the vag and contractions, i wonder if it could work the same for the uterus and painful periods?
I work with brain injury patients and these injections are really useful with secretion management as well. The patient might have lost cough reflex and are in increased aspiration risk. We request frequently botox from the specialists if these become frequent episodes despite all other professional input. 😊
