Any suggestions for Subcutaneous Induration?

WDCrumpFeb 25, 2016
After Coolsculpting exactly one month ago, I seem to have developed a Subcutaneous induration. How often does this happen? That was not listed as a possible side effect. Now, how long will this last? What can I do about it? It aches continuously like a toothache ache. What can I do to get rid of this? It defeats the whole purpose of Coolsculpting.
