Thank you! Once when I went to the ER the Dr mentioned that but I thought it was strange and he didn’t elaborate or say where ,who who administered them. Do you know where the Botox injection is given, what part of the body? Directly into C1C2 or just the general neck area?

I believe botox is injected where steroid injections are done, near the occipital nerves. Here’s a study. There are probably others online.
