I went to have both my calves injected with botox to shrink the muscle. 1 calve started hurting, not the same day or the next day, but like 2 or 3 days later, the pain already last for about a week, about scale of 4 I would say, and its not getting any better.Should I worry about it? It felt more like nerve pain than muscle soreness.If my nerve is damaged, or anything is damaged, will it be reversible? When will it go away?

Thank you for your question. It is very unlikely that Botox has stopped working. The dosage does not sound correct. It is possible the Botox was wrongly reconstituted. I suggest trying Dysport and seeing another physician for your injections. Best of Luck!
This is a common problem that creates a square jawline and can be treated with Botox for hypertrophy (or growth) of the masseter muscle which lasts 3-4 months, or excision (or removal) through an intraoral (inside the mouth) incision. This is more predictable, but carries the risk of nerve...
Thank you for your question. This is unusual for Botox and without a picture it is difficult to give you an answer. I recommend having this evaluated by your treating physician.
