As I'm not into pain and find the injections painful, my specialist noted that I was holding my breath while he was injecting. He advised it helps if you breathe. Think he was worried that I wouldn't restart the process in his surgery. Apparently breathing oxygenates the muscles and might assist with the absorption rate.
The Botox kicked in within 24 hours instead of the usual 3 - 4 days. Grant in sunny Queensland Australia |

My doctor's assistant taps the side of my head while he is injecting the Botox. That helps A LOT with the pain! She taps the temple on the side that he is not injecting and then switches sides when he injects the other side. |

Jill, that is really interesting. You should rename your post - or create a new one - and tell everyone. Might help lots of people?? |

OK, I'll try... I am relatively new to the bulletin board. Thanks for the suggestion. |
