"The first set of injections caused my cervical dystonia substantially worse and very painful for approximately a week. Then it seemed to help for about 3 weeks. The second set of injections (forehead, side of head, back of head, side of neck, back of neck, shoulders, spine) caused WAY worse symptoms for about 3 weeks & relief off and on for a week. It's hard to tell whether it's the xeomin or the invasive injections. I'm struggling with whether to attempt more injections. On a side note I was on high dose of zanaflex which did help the most..but, my liver enzymes shot through the roof and I was taken off completely after being on it for years. I was prescribed Baclofen. So far no relief."

"I get Xeomin injections every 12 weeks in my scalp, neck, and shoulders. It definitely seems to worsen the pain for about three weeks after the injections. Then, I have about two months of relief. I also take Flexeril."
