CoolSculpting day 5, having fever.

Question

I did CoolSculpting on Dec 1st. On day 3, I feel Bouts of shooting pains Intolerable and debilitating. I started feeling pins, needles, burning, and shooting pain, couldnt sleep at night due to frequent awakenings. I also lost my appetite. Today is day 5, I’m having a fever, 99.7 F. I’m very week now. I put on the lindocaine patch it helped a little but still burning! My stomach is burning and my whole body feels the same!

My advice would be to contact your provider and inform them of your symptoms. In my experience, this is not a common side effect of Coolsculpting. You may be experiencing a rare side effect of Coolsculpting described as "late onset pain". Your provider should be able to offer you guidance.

Sorry to hear you’re having a hard time after your CoolSculpting® treatment. It is unlikely that the CoolSculpting itself is the cause of your fever, but it’s always best to check in with your doctor to make sure there aren’t any underlying complications that need to be addressed. You might also want to ask for his or her specific recommendations on how to better manage the pain you’re experiencing, as it shouldn’t be keeping you up at night. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you.

This late onset of pain after Coolsculpting is not common but can happen.  This type of pain will subside on average in a week or two.  I would recommend following up with your provider for some oral medications and consider the new advantage applicators for your following treatments. Hope this helps.

Hello,
I am so sorry that you had such a awful experience.  The itching and aching pain is relatively common with the treatment, but your symptoms warrant an evaluation by a physician, even maybe urgent care visit to clarify what the issue may be.  Hope you are filling better, cold compresses will help with the itching and pain, but don't hesitate contacting your provider to have an evaluation.  Best wishes, Dr Violetta Mailyan.

I am terribly sorry for your experience with late onset pain due to your coolsculpting treatment.  The late onset pain is very common but does not happen to everyone.  Contact your provider with your symptoms, they should be able to help you with some type of medication.
