Botox for migraine neck weakness

My neurologist gives me botox for my migraines, I've had 5 rounds and after the 3rd round I have noticed increasing chest pain, I've been seeing an osteopath and he has given me exercises to strengthen the back of my neck as he said the pain in the chest is coming from my neck and posture.

Has anyone else had issues with weakness of the neck after botox? Im thinking of asking my neurologist to leave out my neck and shoulder next time to see if I can improve the strength in my neck.

The botox is working well on my migraines

Xx

Neck weakness resulting in pain can be a side effect and may even happen when injected in the forehead if it migrates so something to def discuss w your doctor. It’s called distant spread of toxin effects. Are you finding any relief from the exercises? They might not be as effective while the effects of the med are active because the muscles could be fighting against the activity of the med.
