I Had Botox 3 Days Ago in my Forehead and Now I Have Horrible Pain. Normal?

Thank you for your question and your photos. Pain, swelling and flu-like symptoms are not
typical side effects from a Botox injection.
I recommend that you follow up with a certified injector that can
evaluate you completely. I wish you the
best of luck.

I'm sorry to hear that you've had to experience this. This side effect should resolve within the next few weeks. However, there is no guarantee that you will not experience this side effect again next time you have a treatment with Botox. You may want to try taking Tylenol to ease your discomfort

Dear Ms. Tel:A mild or, very rarely, a severe headache can occur after treating a patient's frown lines, and there is a logical reason why this can happen.  The frontalis muscle of the forehead, which is responsible for lifting your brows, is interwoven with the corrugator and procerus muscles (glabellar complex"), which are responsible for drawing your brows together and down. When you relax the muscles of the glabellar complex, the frontalis is then free to contract more, since it is not opposed any longer by the glabellar complex.  This can result in a headache that is akin to a tension headache, which typically responds to Tylenol or Aleve, as well as gentle heat or massage.  If you had both the glabellar complex and the forehead treated the same day, especially if the glabellar complex was treated with Dysport, which takes effect more quickly, and the forehead with Botox or Xeomin, it could be that the glabellar complex released more quickly or thoroughly than the frontalis. These headaches resolve quickly and typically do not recur with subsequent treatments.  Having treated many hundreds of patients, I would say it is uncommon for one to get a headache like this because I have seen it happen in only a few patients.Having said that, I do hope you let your dermatologist check it out. The other reasons the experts mentioned could have caused the problem, although I have never seen a patient with a hematoma, or "bone bruise" in my practice. How did it turn out for you?
