Might help...: No real way to know, but you headaches are intractable and do not respond to medication, certainly worth a trial. Need to discuss with your doctor.

It might help: Use of Botox injections into the muscle trigger points may allow them to release the muscle to relax and reduce the pain from this fatigued tissue. It has been used on various sites in head and neck. Sometimes a local anesthetic is used on these points. However, controlling or eliminating the causes for your tension headaches need to be addressed. Another aid would be a cranio-sacral massage.

Hard to say: Speak with your doctor and he/she can give you proper advice if botox is helpful.
