Answer: Botox and Side Effects Botox is a fantastic injection but if you are having such serious side effects I would consult another neurologist for evaluation. The cosmetic doses are not known to have these side effects. Please keep us posted. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Can Botox cause permanent nerve damage? Hello ohmmy,In the doses used for cosmetic purposes you should not have any risk of permanent nerve damage from Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin. In large doses usually used for therapeutic purposes (treating a medical condition) then the Botox has been shown to spread to distant sites. If this were to happen this would lead to muscle weakness, not nerve pain. The effects of Botox are also only temporary lasting 3-4 months. I would agree with your injector that Botox is not the culprit behind your symptoms of nerve pain in your hands and feet. That "stocking and glove" distribution is usually seen in neurological diseases, with chemotherapy, and with certain metal exposures. I would consider seeing another neurologist for a second opinion. I hope this helps and good luck.
