Agreed... I have seen botox used to rid a person of pain but usually this is an extreme circumstance - a friend's nephew has muscular dystrophy and is very twisted. The botox alleviates his pain, but has minimal effect on his health and movement ability as he is already so disabled. I would be concerned about paralyzing a muscle you need to use... (neck and shoulder) and think that by strengthening both he may be able to minimize his pain. best of luck
