Botox to me just felt like two quick shots. It wasn't anywhere near as painful as I thought it would be. I had some tenderness for a couple of days and then it went away. I definitely felt the sphincter loosen up from it and it helped with the pain though didn't get rid of it fully.
My CRS said that Botox doesn't actually work on the internal sphincter muscle because of the nature of the muscle tissue. It actually works on the other muscles near it. I'm not sure exactly what that meant but that's why she said it doesn't have a very high success rate.
