Some re-assurance for you gals who are just getting the electric shocks. It Does end. For me it started around day 4 and by day 14 was manageable From day 14 to 21' it fades completely and now at 21 days I have no numbness at all. It think my lower abs might be a TINY bit flatter. Judging by how many of us have posted about the pain, I think the businesses offering the procedure need to forewarn people that it may happen. To tell clients, there is NO downtime, it simply not true. But take heart, it DOES get better. :)
I think clinics who treat clients having the lower abs done, should send them away with a prescription for neurontin and advise to fill it if needed. I experienced the very same thing with the pain really staring around day 4 and continuing for 10 days.
I am 2 weeks now. Pain has pretty much gone in the last couple days. It hurts if I rub it .the numbness is maybe 75% gone now. And so has my crankiness with being in pain all the time!
I am day 12 now. Past couple days noticing more feeling and swelling is going down and the stabbing pain is not all the time. I think the pain actually peaked after 1 week, so hang in there Susie.
Hi Susie... Agree with you completely - would prefer more "honesty" about level of pain that may occur. Like you I am counting the days . Day 7 today - weird to be counting days so much. Keep in touch re your progress.
