Neck Pain After Botox for Chronic Migraines

Treatment of unknown triggers for migraines with Botox may take some time to learn which are the key triggers.  Injecting all possilbe trigger zones can help the patient but it can also miss the exact area in which they are successful.

Sounds like the injector is trying to find your "trigger" zone by injecting that amount of Botox in 1 session. Best to contact the injecting doc to be seen concerning the neck pain. In most cases this pain decreases over a few days. But ALWAYS best to be in contact with the injector. 

Pain can be common after any type of injection due to the mild trauma caused by the injection itself.  I have injected many patients for migraines, and any pain has subsided within a few days.  Since your injections were about 24 hours ago, please give it a bit more time.  If your pain continues, please return to your injector to be evaluated.  I hope your migraines are better!

Botox is extremely effective for migraines. The pain you are experiencing is most likely from the injections themselves, not the Botox per se. Injections into the neck can be more painful as the skin is thinner and tighter there, often. It could also be that perhaps you laid on that side more during the night, which can increase tenderness a bit. Don't take ibuprofen as that can increase any possible bruising you may have. Try Arnica Montana (available as topical or pill form from natural food stores) or take Tylenol.
