How Long Does Nerve Pain Usually Last While Healing After Liposuction?

Tavia12
I had liposuction on my inner& outer thighs, hip, and abdomen yesterday. Right now, I'm experiencing minimal buising and pain is tolerable. However, I've read on some reviews that there are these nerve pains that hurt really bad. Here are some questions I have: When does this nerve pain start and what can I do about it? SHould I ask my surgeon for some medicine beforehand? Is it definite that I will experience this? Which post-op day hurts the most?
