Answer: Yes, you can have Botox while on arthritis medication.
In medicine, you can never say never; but it is unusual to have pain that far out. However if a nerve was injured or prolonged inflammation to the area it should resolve in time, even up to 6 months to 1 year.
Hello,
Botox works through preventing muscle motion. As a result it decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles associated with facial motion. Facial fillers, such as Juvederm, create volume and would be the most appropriate for your concerns.

Bathing is fine after your treatment. Bruising can get worse if you drink alcohol so soon after your treatment. You may want to wait a couple of days, or longer if you have excessive bruising.
