I had Botox done exactly 10 days ago from today. Doctor did my 11’s and currogator muscle and crows feet. Since then “inside of my left brow” is constantly aching. It’s a pain at a point. Also when I raise the left brow, I feel pain running down from the same point of my brow down to my check (very close to my nose). It’s tingling, sore, burning feeling. I can lift this brow but can’t lift my right brow. Also left brow with pain/lift seem more raised than the right one. What is going on!

Answer: Botox pain It does sound like nerve irritation- if from the botox it should settle but you may need a check up to make sure nothing else is happening - if there is any rash you may have shingles which would need immediate attention.

Answer: Botox site pain So Sorry for your pain. It seems that a branch of the 5th nerve has been affected by your botox injection. This is a rare complication and may be secondary to swelling putting pressure on the nerve or a injection directly into a small branch of the 5th nerve. This injury is tracking back to the 5th nerve ganglion and causing referral of pain up the 5th nerve. I would apply warm compresses alternating with cold compresses. The cold will reduce the swelling while the warm compress will help dissolve the hematoma. Either way, I think the complication is temporary. i would suggest you see the physician who injected you. If the pain persists you may require Neurontin for the pain.
