Brief Answer:
Weakness is temporary and will resolve in few weeks

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
When used for treating hyperhidrosis botox toxin can cause impairment of fine motor activities.
This is due to the large quantities of botox injected and proximity to small muscles of the hand.
The weakness is temporary and will resolve after a few weeks.

Brief Answer:
Not due to anesthesia, it’s because of botox

Detailed Answer:
It is because of the botox used.
Its not because of the anaesthesia as the effect of the anaesthesia will last for few hours only.

Another two question

1). .The doctor assistant Prepare for my doctor 2 needles in the table before she starts the procedure ( botox and anesthesia)
My doctor mistakenly she injected me first with Botox because she thought that this needle os anesthesia, she did it one time but she recognized her mistake early..
my question is Is there any negative side-effects because she inject me mistakingly with the botox instead of anesthesia or it’s okay??


2.. i know she injected me with too much botox but i still feel my fingers needs more can i inject more botox in my hand or this is not good ?

Brief Answer:
This weakness is not due to the mistake you have mentioned

Detailed Answer:
Its ok to inject botox before the anaesthesia.
This weakness is not due to this mistake of her.
I would recommend you not to inject more of botox as you are already experiencing weakness.
Once the weakness reduces in few weeks then you can go for botox injections again.
