Pain when chewing 2 months after botox in the masseter - What is going on?

February 25, 2019

I had Botox injected (30 units) on right side masseter area & (15 units left side), 2.5 months ago. A week ago, I noticed soreness upon chewing on the right side. What is going on? I experienced soreness right after the injections, which went away normally. But now feeling soreness every time I bite down or chew on the right side scares me. I'm a dentist & I know I don't grind. I have never been a grinder & never experienced jaw soreness like this until now.
