Botox Causing Stomach Pains?

Although it is impossible to say that abdominal cramps are impossible as a result of Botox, it is highly improbable. That being said, if there were a source of Botox used that was obtained not from Allergan, the company that manufacturers it, or if there were an inadvertent injection in the blood stream, it might be possible to get a systemic response. It is just so unusual to imagine that a cosmetic dose of Botox could do that. Pain killers could exacerbate the relaxation of the intestinal tract and gas can build up, not being propelled out, and this can cause cramps and pain. Walking and possibly lying down on the right side to allow gas to rise to the last part of the large intestine to help it exit, may help. Certainly, anyone who notices unusual symptoms should see their primary care doctor, if symptoms are severe, go to the emergency department of the closest hospital, and report the symptoms to the doctor who treated them so they can report it to the company.

Stomach pain is not a side effect of cosmetic Botox treatments to the face. I would have a thorough assessment by her primary care physician to get a full understanding of what might be causing her stomach pain/cramping.

Of all the side effects that could occur as a result of Botox injections, the stomach issues you have described have not been reported. Unfortunately, it sounds like your wife has a gastrointestinal issue that is unrelated to the Botox injections she received. I would suggest speaking with her regular physician, not the doctor who injected the Botox, to resolve this issue.
