Why is my traps getting larger and more tense after traptox?

dunnijo
I always had trouble with tense trapezius muscles. I also wanted a slimmer apperence to the shoulders. I tried botox in the traps 2 times with diffrent providers and the traps are getting larger and more tense than before especially after the first time. Before massage could relax them now they are hard as stone and massage can't relax them anymore. How could this be? Is it the provider ? What can be done. I followed all the instructions
