I'm not sure if I was better off without it

This was a Botox shot, right? When I had my test nerve block (the pre-test to the botox with my doctor) I hurt really bad for two weeks. (really bad defined as: I missed 4 days of work and took percocet 1-2 times per day, could NOT sleep without it due to neck spasms), and then it started to get better. I am three weeks out from the block tomorrow, and this weekend I was finally feeling pretty good. Of course, I am scheduled for Botox in the same spots now on wednesday...
I am expecting the experience to be similar. My Doc promised plenty of pain meds, a doctors note to get out of work, and that the long term improvement would be worth it.
Anyhow, good luck..and keep us posted. I really hope it helps you. I'd give it at least two to three weeks before you give up on it.
Side note: I am only on percocet because I am nursing and though it can make my daughter sleepy, it is generally safer than other options. I don't take anything most of the time.
