I am new at this and have posted my problem with Botox a few times but not sure how to get back to my post. I had Botox shots last Aug. the first shots across my forehead did not help so the Dr. gave me another batch of Botox shots in 2 weeks, after the 2nd. shots I developed severe pain on the right side of my head where I had fallen from a bike accident, I think the Dr. must have hit a nerve or triggered something, I have had this severe pain for almost a year the MRI or Cat scan don't show anything, have seen 4 neurologists and they haven't helped, they cant figure out why I have this severe pain especially when I cough its excruciating, I am at a point where I just don't know if this will ever go away, please let me know if you have had this kind of experience, I am desperate.

@nurseheadakes mentioned a good resource in a previous post that you might find helpful -- https://headaches.org/.

You mentioned that you had migraines as a child but it got worse after being hit by a bicycle in 2018. I know you said you have seen a lot of different doctors and neurologists. Have you thought about seeking help at a teaching hospital or a major health facility?
