I had coolsculpting on my abdomen three weeks ago and am still in pain. I went to the ER for it last week and they checked my blood work, they said I'm fine give it time. Is this very abnormal? When will the pain subside? It was nerve pain but now the whole area is very sore :(
Answer: Pain after Coolsculpting Thank you for your question. You may experiencing a combination of soreness, which is quite common and late onset nerve pain. Nerve pain can last a couple of weeks after treatment. Please follow up with your provider as they should be able to prescribe you with something to help treat the pain.Regards,

Answer: Nerve pain after Coolsculpting Hi, Thank you for your question.Nerve pain is a possible side effect that should be discussed during the CoolSculpting consultation. Typically it resolves in 2-3 weeks after treatment. Depending on the type of applicator you used, you might be more likely to experience nerve pain. In my experience, patients who use the larger CoolMax applicator for debulking tend to report more tenderness/nerve pain after treatment. You can use a short course of gabapentin to help ease the nerve pain in the meantime but it is self limiting. A compression garment may also help to provide some support.Hope this helps!
