My daughter has seen a new neurologist recently. He prescribed her Namenda to help with her memory and migraines, but her migraines worsened on the medication, so we will be trying something else when we see him again.

He has recommended that she get Botox injections. We are a little concerned because her temples have been slightly swollen ever since the initial concussion, and bumps to her temple in the past have triggered new symptoms. She doesn't know if these bumps could have caused concussions in themselves, but they seem to affect her in the same way as a concussion. We are worried that sticking a needle into the swollen area could possibly increase the inflammation and lead to an onset of new symptoms for her. The doctor does not seem to think it would be a problem, but some of her doctors have been careless in the past, and we wanted to get other people's opinions on getting Botox in an area that is slightly swollen as to whether it could aggravate the existing inflammation and potentially cause more problems for her.

Any feedback? Thank you everyone in advance for your advice.
