Cool Sculpting, pain, and Fibromyalgia

February 10, 2016
Asked By:nachodog in Calgary, AB

I want to get cool sculpting done on my little belly, but after reading about the pain some people suffered, I'm hesitant. I have Fibromyalgia and I seem to feel pain differently - it's like the pain is magnified. I am currently controlling the Fibromyalgia pain with Tylenol Arthritis. If I were to take an anti-inflammatory, would that affect the process of Cool Sculpting (which I believe involves inflammation) and reduce its efficacy?
