I have had the treatment, no side effects, and fewer migraines. Sorry it did not work for you

I tried Botox for my Chronic Daily Migraines several years ago. I think it may have helped a tiny bit the first time but never saw any improvement with subsequent Botox treatments.

I understand you, Botox has ruined my life, I had Botox shots last Aug. the first shots didn't help much the Dr. said to come back and I got another set of shots on my forehead, after the second session i developed a pain in my head, worse than migraines, I've had it for almost a year, when I cough its excruciating pain have been to 4 Neurologists and because it doesn't show up on the Cat Scan or MRI they just don't know how to treat this, it is so demoralizing I am living with pain every day, and on top of it I still get the migraines.
I would never get Botox again it ruined my life.

I have been getting them and if I am correct I didn't have any serious side effects but if you don't feel comfortable with them yourself. You have the choice to say no. It is ultimately up to you.

My Dr is suggesting that I try Botox for my chronic migraine headaches. I have them about 5times a week.

I recently had Botox trigger point injections in my back for chronic pain. Two days later I started having a burning, stinging, cramping pain at the base of my neck and upper back on the right side which is not where the targeted pain is (my back pain is along the shoulder blades). I believe this new pain is being caused by the Botox migrating outside of the area where the injections took place. My doctor has instructed me to apply ice & heat and to do neck stretches. I'm also told to just wait for it to get better. I'm dreading the fact that Botox can last 4-6 months in your system. It's been 3 weeks now and the pain seems to be getting worse (more frequent).

I tried the Botox injections and all they did was cause more pain. I then started seeing a doctor at a pain clinic and he started me on aimovig. It worked for almost a year but then stopped working. I will be going back to the pain clinic to see if they can try something else. Use ice packs on the back of your neck and wherever your headache hits. This is the only thing that is helping a little to ease the pain. I hope you find something that helps. I have been having headaches for 54 years and have tried just about everything there is so I am hoping something new has come out. Good luck.
