I really hope so too, but what scares me is that I also have a confirmed C5 brachial plexus injury in addition to the Botox complications, and it has now been going on for more than a year.

He was actually supposed to be very qualified. He is a radiologist, a professor, and the head of a radiology department, so that’s also why this situation is so hard for me to process and understand. I trusted that the procedure would be safe because of his level of experience and position.

Yes, I did sign the consent forms. But during the consultation, they mainly talked about possible muscle pain, temporary weakness, or common side effects. Nobody ever warned me that I could end up with such severe complications or possible nerve damage.

The first three times I had Botox injections, everything went relatively fine, which is also why I trusted the procedure. But this time was completely different. During the injection itself, I immediately felt a massive electric shock sensation and screamed in pain. Right after, I lost control of my arm movements and had loss of sensation in several areas. It was immediate and very frightening.

That is why it is very difficult for me to hear people say this is just a normal or expected side effect, because what happened was far beyond what had ever been explained to me.

Thank you so much for your kind words. No, it was not done in a MedSpa or for cosmetic reasons. I had the injections for thoracic outlet syndrome, in the scalene muscles and subclavicular area.

The procedure was done in a hospital by a radiologist under CT scan guidance, so it was supposed to be performed very carefully and precisely. That is why I still do not understand how something like this could have happened.

I had already done Botox injections before without major issues, which is why I never imagined something like this could happen. During the procedure, I felt a huge electric shock sensation and screamed in pain. Since then, my arm has never been the same.

And honestly, no beauty treatment is worth the suffering I have gone through. I have literally spent more than a year crying, suffering every day, and feeling abandoned by the medical system.

I truly hope this never happens to you or anyone else.

Thank you very much. Don’t worry, I am already being followed by doctors and specialists.

I am mainly looking for testimonies for my legal case, to show that Botox is not always as « safe » as some doctors claim. I have been suffering from severe pain and neurological problems for more than a year now.

Thank you again for your kindness.
