Neck Pain After Botox for Chronic Migraines

alhuff26
I had my first treatment of botox for chronic migraines just over 24 hours ago. I was given 145 - 150 units total over my forehead, several injections along my temples near my ears, and several injections in the back of my head and along both sides of the back of my neck. today the left side of my neck is very painful. is anyone familiar with neck pain as a side effect of botox? from the reasearch i've done it seems somewhat common. will this go away on its own or last the length of the treatmnt
