Nerve Damage from Injection?

ColoradoSonja
During a recent Botox injection, I experienced an unusual, searing pain that radiated from the injection site in my forehead straight back in a discernable path through my cranium. It felt hot, burning, and almost like liquid fire. My nurse immediately cited that she had likely hit a nerve. Four days later, I still am experiencing pain - both when palpating my forehead and even when generally doing nothing. Is her assessment accurate, and more importantly, will this desist?
