Extreme Pain After Restylane?

I just had Restylane done for my fourth time 4 days ago & I am in extreme pain, I can't even sleep is this normal? What do I do? I am waiting for the clinic to open so I can ask for some extreme pain killers. I hurt so bad I feel like crying!! Please tell me if this is normal?
