Botox Injection in Neck for Fibromyalgia: Now Have Extreme Side Effects

cyberdan
In one week I got muscle pains in the back of my neck. I could tolerate this but it got worse and actually moved down my neck to both shoulders and fineally moved to the muscles at the surface of my left sholder. If I lay down and completly relax it goes away. I work on a computer and after a bit everything comes back. It is many times worse than the fibromylgia. It is very bad muscle pain an actual burning pain and numbness. What can I do or do I just have to wait for the botox to wear off?
