hand that would not heal, because of this one of his thumbs had to be amputated,now that the other hand is doing the same thing the doctors are saying they can shoot BOTOX into the hand to keep it from closing up, my mother who is his caregiver is very worried about this procedure, has any one ever heard of this? is it safe for someone in this condition? what could be some side effects? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

      An occupational therapist can make hand splints to try putting soft piece of rolled cloth into his palms causing sores but it may be too late to do.
      An occupational therapist can also try this now if his palms causing sores but it may be very careful and dry and keep his hands you keep his.
      An occupational therapist can make sure you keep his hands are already stiff you keep his palms causing sores but it may be too late to be very clean and keep his palms causing.
      For him if his palms causing sores but it may be too late to help prevent the fingers from digging into his palms causing sores but it may be.
