Sculptra - Jaw pain after injection, difficulty eating and chewing. How long will this last?

Dinam
I am a 47 year old female who had Sculptra injected into my temples by a Board. Certified Plastic Surgeon almost 48 hours ago. Since the injection, I have been experiencing upper jaw pain whenever I try to open my mouth. It is difficult to open my mouth wide enough to eat. It also hurts to chew. How long will I have to endure this pain? Also, am I supposed to be massaging the area? I have been reading that other Docs instruct to massage 5 times a day for 5 minutes. It really hurts to massage!
