Sorry to hear you are feeling uneasy about whether or not you received the full amount you were suppose to. Unfortunately what you are asking doesn't have as simple of an answer as one would think. Here is some info that might help though:

Botox about 4 times...dull headache and bruise feeling each time..no big deal. This time around, stomach pain. day 2...not as bad but still. I did GOOGLE this and yes, there it is a a side effect although the clinic when I called never heard of this...anyone else and how long? its annoying and somewhat uncomfortable.

Thanks for sharing that info. It seems that as of right now, the creams aren't providing similar results to injected botox...but, wouldn't it be great if something like that came out?!

Here is a Q&A about a Xeomin (Botox competitor) cream that was being talked about:
