Jaw Pain and Difficulty with Opening the Mouth Post-Botox

User Avatar

I had Botox for the first time, and got a bit too much on the mouth area. My jaw is sore, and I really try not to talk very much. Eating is okay, as long as it's soft food. I've been dealing with Bell's Palsy since January 2008, and I now look like I did when I had it. What can be causing the jaw pain and the difficulty of opening the mouth? Does Bell's Palsy have something to do with it? I'll go for a CT next week and they will go from there.
