I had a 4th tx with Botox injections for migraine 7 weeks ago. It was ineffective for MHA. I had temporary weakness when chewing. Then noticed gradual wasting of both temporalis muscles Im not sure I can feel any muscle. Neurologist said too much Botox was injected and should have return of normal appearance in 6 months. Do you recommend anything further? Physiarist? Massage? Exercise? Anything you can suggest is greatly appreciated. Thanks. I'm so worried this may ne permanent.
