Permanent Stiff Neck After Botox for Teeth Clenching
Charlotte1824Jun 26, 2011
After having botox in my jaw to stop me clenching my teeth at night my head feels very hard to lift up its now been 4 months since having it done and and my neck seems to be getting more stiff and painful everyday, my jaw also hurts. I thought it would be gone after 3 months but it seems worse than before. I am wondering if botox is the cause and when it should go away or have new muscles built to compensate for the paralysed ones as my neck also looks more muscular.
