22 Days After Lipo and in Severe Pain

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.

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!
