Pain and Remote Weakness in Limbs Injected with Botulinum Toxin A for Writer's Cramp
Lancet 346:154-156, Sheean,G.L.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We describe two cases of a syndrome resembling neuralgic amyotrophy that occurred in limbs injected with botulinum toxin for writer's cramp.In both cases,one of the injections was followed by pain and the next,7-10 weeks later,by weakness.We believe that unexplained pain in the shoulder region after an injection of botulinum toxin contraindicates a second injection.
