On Thursday, October 20th, I had Botox injected into my glabella and forehead and crow's feet. It started "kicking in" this weekend and now (Monday) is in full effect. On Saturday, October 22, I woke up with a numb thumb (the outside and base of my right thumb). It didn't go away so I went to chiropractor today (found nothing) and scheduled an appt. with a neurologist. I can't figure out why my thumb would suddenly go numb overnight then it dawned on me that it coincided with the Botox taking effect.
