Hi my realselfteresa, Sorry to hear you are in so much pain. I am not even 3 weeks post and my pain is almost gone. I don't think it should be getting worse? I do feel a Little stiff and sore when I get up but its not painful. Everyone heals differently I guess, have you been excercising? I know that when the nerves heal and re-attach it can be painful. I had that in the first 2 weeks. Have you been able to do light massage? Massage and moving helped me a lot.... Also drank a lot of water and used arnica. It is re-assuring that your doc said its normal but if you are worried you must go back...you are the patient and you can ask as often as you want. Take care and keep me posted.

Hi brandnewme, I started putting oiintment on when the incisions healed. Pineapple juice is supposed to help with swelling. Keep active, give yourself light massage as early as you can. Rest and eat well. Good luck keep me posted

Hi yellow bikini, how did you go on you first day back? I hope it was ok for you.....I really think you need a good week off work after lipo especially if you have multiple areas. How are you going with you compression garment? I can' t stand mine.....I have moved from the surgery one with the zips to spanx, works fine and I can sleep. I had my 10 day checkup yesterday doc is very happy with my progress he said I am wEeks ahead... Some things I think have helped: Self massage 4 times a day Lymphatic massage twice a week Drink lots of water and pineapple juice Walk as much as you can, build it up over time Use scar treatments 3 times a day Use arnica cream on all bruises and take tablets Eat super healthy clean food low salt Would love to hear how you are going.
