Yes I had Botox injections 2 days ago at 1:00 pm pacific time. The very next day at 2:00 pm I noticed both my hands were puffy a swollen. Also the palms of mr hands started itching and burning. Today even still at 10:00 pm my hands are even worse. I wondering if I'm developing an allergic reaction to the Botox? I've had 4 previous true anaphylactic shock episode in my lifetime before. Thanks so kindly. Karen Quam~
