How painful will Botox injection be?

I have Trigeminal neuralgia and have an appt to have botox. being a injection in the joint will this be real painful? I am trying to prepare myself ahead of time.

has anybody tried botox for trigeminal neuralgia ?

How was it? DO you still have TN?

I have had several injections and it wasnt to bad, he numb me pretty good first. nothing compared to the pain of TN. I havent had to have an injection for several months now ! I am hoping this continues ! good luck. Julie

How many times have you gone since March?

What side is your pain on?Where on your face?

How many attacks were you having a day?

Were you on any medication before trying this, are you still?

Where did you get this performed at?Hospital?

Assuming you have insurance how much is it for this?

Sorry for all the questions, but I can't find any information on this online, just people saying they were going to try it, and then no follow up.....

I'm in Cleveland,OH and tried to get an appointment at Metrohealth and they said they don't do this for TN just Hemifacials Spasms and don't believe everything you read online??!?

Cleveland Clinic can't get me in till early January, and won't let me talk to a Doctor for 30 seconds to ask if they even do this for TN.......I don't want to wait all this time and waste money telling me they don't do it there or I'm not a candidate....

Thanks...

one injection since march, right side of my face, and the pain was usually steady but would esclate at times. I tried almost every medication they offered but I had reactions to them all. Dr Chadwell was my dr in south bend next to the hospital. they shots were under 100.00 depending on how much botox or disport he used. I had better luck with disport. If you would like to call me let me know I will email you my number.
