Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I also had botox for spasms in my neck. I had jaw surgery that has caused my neck and shoulders to spasm. By putting botox in my neck, it made the pain worse -- suddenly, one of the things that kept my jaw from pushing on the nerve was gone. That doctor had no idea why he had done anything wrong. I've also had botox in the jaw muscle, on the outside. No relief, unfortunately. No one is willing to inject inside the jaw and I understand why. I would be very careful before doing any injections! I have heard that there's a new kind that's relatively quick acting and short acting. You could ask about that if you're seriously considering it. Otherwise, have someone think through all the ramifications of knocking out one muscle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
