I had my lower back and upper abs done yesterday. For me, the lower back was almost unbearably painful then the local anaesthetic was being put in. I was crying with the pain. If felt exactly as it was, large needles being put under my skin and rotated.
I am not a baby when it comes to pain, I have had 4 children, 3 of those naturally with no pain relief. I have to say having my lower back done was almost as bad (but in a different way) to being in labour. Awful and I would never put myself through that again.
I almost told the doctor not to do my upper abs but this was the area I most wanted doing, I had a big lump of fat there from a past traditional lipo. So, i went ahead. That part was fine, minimal pain at all and I'm really pleased I didn't bail out of it.
I am swollen like a beach ball today and sore, tylenol are helping but I am stiff and sore. This wasn't the quick lunchtime treatment I was sold but I am hoping the results help me to forget the horrible experience I had.
