Pain from Botox Injected into Scar Tissue on Face for Migraines?

ThatHurts
I had Botox injections for Chronic Migraines (caused by Head Trauma a few months ago) and it was pure torture. I was offered no numbing cream, or pain relief of any kind. The doctor said it was painful due to the Inflamation and scar tissue. Is this common? If so, it is a horrible experience and I have a high pain tolerance.
