Default Botox injections for migraines with CRPS

Good morning everyone,

I was diagnosed with CRPS this past New Years Eve. I have PCS and chronic migraines from a concussion at work on 1/2/13 . I received my first botox treatment the third week of November and I'm due for my second one the third week of February.
I was diagnosed with CRPS by a hand surgeon.I had a dizzy spell and fell on my arm,bruised my hip and remained on the floor several hours. My PCP recommended the hand surgeon for a consult. My neurologist who I've been seeing for my PCS and migraines wanted to rule out cervical spine issues so he ordered an MRI of my c-spine which showed a build up of spinal fluid in my c-spine so I'm going for an MRI of my c-spine with contrast this Thursday.
My question is, if my neurologist agrees with the hand surgeon and I do actually have CRPS, won't the 30 injections of botox create a large risk of getting CRPS in my head?

thanks for the input

Joe
