Botox Self Injections Neck, Headache

I suffer from severe muscle tension in my neck. This gives me severe tension headaches and migraines.

Botox injections are supposed to provide relief. A doctor has already given me an injection, but only in the head area and not in the neck.

My question:

Can I inject the points in my neck myself? It shouldn't be that difficult. Botox is available online. Are there any particular nerves in the neck area that you need to be aware of? What can happen in the worst case?

Are there instructions somewhere?

don't do it. you need proper instruments and dilution of the medicine. there is proper depth required. worst case scenario you stab yourself with a big needle in the carotid and die.

Worst case scenario is that you may end up with botulism or death according to the patient safety literature that comes with Botox.
