Should I be concerned by neck pain after Botox cosmetic injections in frown lines?

Coalea
I have undergone Botox injections for my frown lines 4 times over the past year. Three of the 4 times, I have had moderate to severe left-sided neck pain that starts the next day and lasts about a week. Is this a typical side effect, or should I be concerned? Is there anything that can be done to minimize/eliminate the neck pain in the future? (I love the Botox results!)
