    Hi Rebecca.

    I am sorry to hear that happened to you. I can't relate to that happening after Botox, but it was like that before for me. I was so scared of the pain, that my sphincter couldn't relax in the end and I wasn't able to poop because everything seized up. But since Botox, I have been fine. I just wanted to check in and see if you were OK now or still struggling?

    As for the not being able to pee, that happened to me after taking tramadol for pain. Are you on any pain killers? It's a common side effect for narcotics. I hope you are travelling alright and I'm sorry I'm not much help. But I'm here if you wanna talk.
