I Had Radiesse Injections in my Cheeks About 5 Weeks Through Temple. Causing Headaches, What Can I Do?

The Dr used a long needle and entered thru the temple to the cheeks. I expressed concern about going thru the temple but she said not to worry it would be fine. Well, it was not fine. I got an immediate headache and for the last 5 weeks have been having severe headaches,pressure in cheeks up left temple up over forehead and intense pressure in head. Have to sleep sitting up. Worst when I lye down. I've been on 2 course's of prednisone and still am having this problem.
