I’m a 43 year old woman who got my botox shot for migraines about 3 months ago. I got a migraine and shoulder pain right away from it and the pain hasn’t subsided. It will decrease in intensity for an hour or two each day which gives me so much hope! My Neurologist told me it has nothing to do with the Botox and I am imagining the pain. I am losing hope. Is it from the Botox. I have been taking NSAIDs like crazy and using my Cefaly, but still no relief. Please help….no one else will.

There is no issue in removing wisdom teeth and getting botox for migraines (or cosmetic or TMJ etc). Although you can probably do them the same day, ideally I'd wait till the swelling went down if injecting the jaw area...2 weeks to be in the clear.
For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest...
It is extremely rare for Botox to run out of an injections site other than the first second it is injected. The needles used are extremely thin/small (generally 30-33 gauge).
