I grind & clench my teeth, so I developed some TMJ Issues, which was mostly ear problem, tried alot of things, nothing really worked, then I got botox last year June & really helped me & improved everything overall. I started to grind again so I thought to go get another botox to stop the grinding, a week later and now my masster muscle is in so much pain & I can't even move, I never complained from pain even when I grinned, and before the botox, so what happened, was I injected wrong and what can I do?
