I am almost 3 months out from Botox. As my forehead became tighter my temples began hurting and I have have tension like headaches since . Seeing a neurologist who does see headaches post Botox in about 5 percent of patients . Trying to future out a medicine that works but no luck yet ... and of course waiting for Botox to wear off ... any suggestions ??

Answer: Tension Headaches after Botox I have found that needle placement can have an impact on the degree of discomfort felt by patients after a neuromodulator injection. I would also recommend a visit with your primary care physician to have some routine labs drawn to make sure nothing medical (i.e thyroid, vitamin deficiency, electrolyte disturbances, inflammatory conditions) is going on. Interestingly, Botox and Dysport typically work by reducing the release of pro-inflammatory chemical messengers as well as by muscle relaxation. You may also benefit from daily magnesium supplementation as it is a natural muscle relaxer. There are various forms but magnesium bisglycinate is well absorbed and may not give you the gastrointestinal effects of other forms of magnesium. I hope that helps!

Answer: Headache post Botox Tension headaches post Botox are very rare (much less than 5% of patients). It may be more related to the injectors technique vs patients reactions.
