Hi. I had Botox in my forehead a month ago which went fine. I then had a small top up to remove the lines just above each eye. The day after the top up both my feet have gone completely numb, they feel extremely cold and painful and I find it very hard to walk. All blood tests are clear. I'm being referred to a neurologist. It's 2 weeks since the top up. Could the Botox have caused a problem with my nerves and is it likely to be temporary or permanent? Thank you for your comments.
