Why do I still have pain and severe burning 10 weeks after I had my lipo laser procedure? Any suggestions?

tcline01
I had laser liposuction 10 weeks ago. During my procedure, while in the area of my hips, ribs and breastbone, I felt what I can only describe as electrocution ... I was screaming, crying and begging the doctor to stop, but she didn't. I was in so much pain. Here it is 10 weeks later and not only am I still very swollen, but in the areas that I felt electrocuted, I have much pain in my hip bones, ribs and breastbone. Along with the pain I have severe burning in the same areas. Any suggestions?
