Can I start Neurontin on my 2nd day after Coolsculpting on Abs in order to prevent nerve pain?

Asked By:alwaysdieting76 in Huntersville, NC

I had CoolSculpting on my outer thighs two months and on the 5th day, I had severe burning and itching that latest thru day 14th. I recently had 4 Advantage applicators placed on my abs and in order to get ahead of the nerve pain (and since Neurontin can take days to be effective), is there anything wrong with starting this medication today to help mitigate "day 5" issues?
