Should I be sweating 3 days after MiraDry? Also, I experienced intense burning pain after the procedure.

Asked By:janesmithpip in Denver, CO

I'm an 18 year old female and a healthy college athlete, but have had hyperhidrosis since I was 12. I sweat excessively both during exercise and just sitting in class. I had MiraDry done last week and the procedure didn't hurt, but once the numbness wore off I was in severe pain which felt like burning. This lasted about 8 hours and over-the-counter painkillers didn't help. 3 days after the procedure I was sweating again. I was told to expect no sweating for at least a few weeks. Am I hopeless?
