Has anyone tried Botox for headaches?

Hello, I had Botox twice 5 years ago for constant severe migraines. The first round I did ok with. It helped about 30-40 %. Three months later I had a second round. The nurse upped my dose and also hit a nerve in my left temple. For three months straight that spot burned. Then it moved to my head. It has not stopped! Has anyone else experienced burning? Did you have any more Botox after? I have several doctors wanting to try again but I’m petrified. I’m medication intolerant so I suffer with nothing to help. I’ve tried all holistic avenues as well. Thank you and god bless!

Hi I get sharp stabbing pain in my temples sometimes and use Diclofenac cream or ointment (Voltaran is brand) right directly on my temples sometimes. It helps! Just be careful to use sparingly and rub in well so it doesn’t migrate to your eyes. Ask your doctor about that for you. 😉

@gatormomma - having a burning feeling in your head sounds awful.
I wanted to let you know I moved your post here so that you could join in the existing conversation here about onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) for headaches and chat with members such as @cclurman @mikaylar @tamster1208 @sundancerdb78 @dfarias @ksdm and others.
