I have Botox injections all 32 for my migraines and I was ok the day after, the following day my neck hurt it was very weak,my eye lids were drooping. I called the neurologist office they said it's a side effect, another office said no that's not good! So here I am 3 weeks later my neck still hurts and I can't bend down bc I can't raise my neck back up. I don't leave the house much bc after 10-15 min my neck needs rested! And I hate the way my face looks frozen, I absolutely can't move my eyebrows! My appearance feels altered. I'm miserable!

I have had chronic debilitating migraine headaches with vertigo for fifteen years. I have tried everything. My neurologist suggested Botox. It has been a horrible experience for me. My doc said most people tolerate the injections well. I certainly didn't. Headaches everyday. Extremely tired and sore neck was the worst. Drooping eye brows. Extremely dissatisfied with the whole process. I'm going on week three. I'm STILL extremely sore in my neck and back of the head. It's definitely not worth it.

Keep at it. I expected immediate success with my first round of injections and my headaches actually got worse the first week, plus my neck and head hurt, like you mentioned, but then things started to improve and the 2nd and 3rd rounds of Botox got even better. I got my life back!! Don't Give Up!! I've been getting injections for over 2yrs now and don't want to go back to life without them. I left hints about how to eliminate the drooping eyes and painful neck and head to Heather1225 and Milobaby1 above, check them out. Good Luck! Blessings!

I hate being a miserable person but it's hard to do anything as soon as my neck starts hurting I'm grumpy and ready to leave to lay down. I'm afraid my neck won't ever feel better!! I see a pain management dr on the 20th of this month I'm hopeful they can do something!And I have an appointment at the Cleveland Clinic in November, awhile to wait but I'm hopeful!

Because they don't tell us about side effects. They just want to make money on us, sadly.
