22 Days After Lipo and in Severe Pain

I hear you. I'm on my 20th day and I do want to light the garment on fire too. Are you feeling better now? I have sporadic pains all around my thighs and feel soooo itchy. My knees are also in pain. My lower back, oh my god, I can't be in any position over 2 minutes and not feel pain again. It's too early to tell if I regret it yet....

Oh, gosh....I really feel for you! I am at 8 weeks now and the nerve pain is better, but still very much there. I still have swelling, especially in the evenings, on my stomach. The itching comes and goes, but can still get pretty bad. Benedryl helps. I was so happy to be out of the garment, but wore it for longer than I was told to because it hurt not to. I still have pain in all the lipo areas, but it is tolerable most of the time. By bedtime some evenings, I am needing a painkiller. It's the kind of pain that you can still function normally but that wears you down, you know? I am pretty teary eyed lots of times when I am climbing into bed- the sheets moving over me can hurt. It's like having shingles! My arms are still pretty swollen and "ridgy" and can get annoying with the tingly burning itching thing. I've been told that things will change in the next 4 weeks-pain will subside,swelling will decrease,etc. It's hard to believe that swelling and pain could still be an issue this far out, but it is. Massage is a tremendous help once you are cleared for that. It's painful, but it helps afterward. Good luck to you and hang in there!

I wish I had an answer for you, as I know you a suffering terribly. Nothing worked to control the pain for me. It eventually just went away. It's been 6 months now and I still have alot of tightness and some discomfort, but not the nerve pain. I'm not happy with my results...going in next week to see my doctor. I'm lumpier than before and the ridges on my stomach are not attractive at all. The inner thigh is wobbly and like a way older woman would have. Disappointing, to say the least.

I think you should try MSM and glucosamine, these are anti-inflammatory and may help, am sorry for your pain, am 11 days post up, i had 6 litres of fat taken out and at this stage the only thing i want to hear about right now is hydrocodone, my best friend.

I had a tummy tuck and lipo to my lower back and outer thighs 6 weeks ago. I had numbness until 3 weeks ago but now I have really bad nerve pain specially in the evenings. Lying down is terrible. The tummy tuck is perfect with very little pain but the lipo areas seem to be on fire most of the time. Massage seems to work a little and heat. I'm happy with the results in the mirror but I wish the pain would go away.
