Radiesse in Nasolabial Folds and Jawline - Allergic / Immune Response?

Not Worth It
Spent: $1,200 in Vancouver, BC

On August 17th I had Radiesse injected in my nasolabial folds as well as along the jawline. Very little bruising or swelling and the look is very natural.

However, since the injection I have felt extremely tired, no energy, various aches and pains, and the return of carpal tunnel syndrome. I'm wondering if I could be experiencing an allergic or immune system response to the filler.

Has anyone experienced fatigue, various aches and pains, allergic or immune responses to Radiesse after injections?

I don't use numbing cream and the injections barely hurt, but afterwards I became very achy. For at least two or three days, the area was hot and painful and my body was achy, but it eventually subsided. I think it may be an immune response to the trauma of the injections rather than the material itself... but I am not a medical professional. I am thinking of adding a syringe as I only did one, so I am a little reluctant. Any one else out there have similar response?
