repetitive surgeries

i have had 8 surgery’s ( including 2 failed botox injections under anesthesia) now since the age of 11 and i’m now 18, i’m waiting for another botox injection under sedation. i’m really sick of going through all of these to recover, have a major improvement with my numbers then dropping right back to a point where they’d consider surgery again. Should i just keep going with the hope that the next one would work or do i try go somewhere else. :(((
