Hi, My Mom Age 85, Suffered A Stroke 4 Mths

Hi, My Mom age 85, suffered a stroke 4 mths ago. she is in rehab, and they are considering treating her muscle spasms with botox injections to see if this helps her. Her stroke effected her speech, swallowing and no use of arm and little movement of leg. She did not tolerate muscle relaxants in the past and was discontinued, do to setting back her swallowing and speech. Im concerned, of side effects since this is a muscle relaxant and couldn't tolerate medication given for this and is this is worth trying? don't want to cause and further health problems?
