Does Botox Cause All over Body Weakness?

scaredafterbotox
I've had botox 6 weeks ago in my jaw for tmj. 3 weeks following the injection I steaarted experiencing weak feelings in my muscles all over my body. I'm veryscared and read a lot of information stating that side effect can happen up to several weeks after an injection. Should I be concerned about this? My dr is telling me that it's n.ot a possible side effect of thebotox. But I don't know what else it could be. This can't be a concidence. My primary d. Referred me to a neurologist. Please help.
