A member asked:
I get botox in my neck/shoulders and i swear it gives me more tightness. could that also affect my tmj since those areas are close? its worse now.

BOTOX: ONLY AFFECTS the muscles it is injected into....the effects do not "SPREAD" Your TMJ complaints are a SEPARATE issue! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
