botox paralyzes the muscles.
I have had botox done for migraine once and for cosmetic (forehead wrinkles) once.
yes, your neurologist can do it… and insurance should pay for it. you may get relief and you may not– you may have some TMJ problems (the masseter is a main chewing muscle)- this may already be an issue for you now– so talk to your dentist AND your neurologist about this before you get this done.
when my neurologist did the botox for my migraines he injected my forehead, my occipitals (back of my skull) and my temporalis (above my ear – the temple area) when he did the temporalis muscle it paralyzed that muscle & I had a hard time eating for about a month. my jaw clunked every time I tried to take a bite & I could only eat very soft food.
the masseter is a bigger more powerful muscle, so you need to discuss if this will effect your eating/chewing.
I dont know how it is effecting you , but you should ask about that.
good luck.
