Will Botox Help with Tightness in Forehead after Temporal Lobectomy?

spitfire2
Had a craniotomy (temporal lobectomy for refractory epilepsy and a brain tumor) over 3.5 years ago, and have had terrible tightness/squeezing across forehead, on top of head, and some soreness around scar. It is very hard for me to look up with my eyes alone. This squeezing feeling started very suddenly about 6 months post-op. The prior 6 months, I had chronic migraines, which I now rarely have. Do you think a botox injection(s) could help w/ this terrible tightness, esp. across my forehead?
