Headache after Botox. Is that normal?

Hi Mary Grace,
I know how you feel; I have gotten headaches after Botox injections too. I found it helpful to take 400mg of ibuprofen immediately after injection to prevent this. Ironically, I got Botox for migraines and it did work to reduce their occurrence. I don't take the ibuprofen before injections because it increase the chances of bruising, but immediately after.
Good luck with this,

Definitely follow up with the physician who injected the Botox.
It is fairly common to have a headache after Botox injections, particularly if patients 'fight' the deactivation of the target muscles (although, ironically, Botox is used to treat chronic migraine headaches).
