Strange Scalp Muscle Sensation on Top of my Head Following Botox Injections in my Forehead.

seattle12345
I had Botox 3 days ago (about 32cc?) to provide forehead lift. I'm having the opposite: forehead droop in the area over my eyes giving me a tired look. Sadly,this cosmetic consideration is the LEAST of my concerns. What's more worrisome is that I'm now experiencing odd muscle sensations along the very top of my head. If I touch my forehead in the area just above my left brow arch I have the sensation of tugging on something below the skin that goes up and over the left side of my head! WTF?
