Why am I having so many complications after Botox in masseter muscles for TMJ?

JinPhx
Concerned with trouble speaking, slurring, now even stuttering after botox to masseter muscles. Extreme jaw tightness, jaw cracks (have to stretch my jaw and open my mouth wide to relieve the tension and pain. Ive gotten botox multiple times for my tmj pain but the last few times I have gotten it seems like there is another problem that comes along with it. I also like how it slims my jawline and gives my face a nicer shape but I dont understand why Im having so many issues now.
