I Had Botox 3 Days Ago in my Forehead and Now I Have Horrible Pain. Normal?

Asked By:Candy Tel in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Israel

I feel like I was hit in the head with a brick. I called the doctor and her assistant picked up and said the pain should go away in 3-4 days. Why is this happening? Is this a sign of something horrible? Is this temporary pain or will it last forever? I am worried sick, does this head ache mean something bad ??
