Pain after CoolSculpting, but nothing including Gabapentin and Benadryl seem to help, any suggestions?

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a Doctor to determine the cause of your pain and the appropriate treatment. This pain can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications and neurontin. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

I am very sorry to hear that you are having this unrelenting pain after your procedure. The way you describe the pain seems like neuropathic pain, which is pain created by irritated nerves. This is not common, but certainly one of the reported adverse effects of the treatment. Gabapentin is a medication that stabilizes your peripheral nerves and reduces this neuropathic pain. It can sometimes take a few weeks for the medication to take full effect. In the meantime, I would advise you to seek additional advice from your treating physician or pain management specialist. 

I do find that Gabapentin normally works well for the pain that some people experience after CoolSculpting to the abdomen.  The dosage is variable and can be adjusted if needed.  It is possible that your dose is too low.  I would check back with the physician who treated you and see if your dose can be altered.  

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear about your pain and discomfort post Coolsculpting. I suggest returning to your treating physician to be evaluated in person to make sure there are no other factors that may be causing your discomfort. The doctor can then possibly adjust the dose of Gabapentin based on his/her findings. Best of Luck!

What you are describing is called late onset pain, and does occasionally occur post treatment with CoolSculpting.  Generally, this discomfort is experienced after treating the lower abdomen with the CoolMax applicator. The level of discomfort varies from person to person, usually starts about 7 days post treatment and last from 3 to 5 days.  For some, it may last longer, but rarely ever lasts more than 2 weeks.  You did the right thing checking in with your provider and getting a Rx. 
Some clients also alternate ice and heat, use topical Arnica gel, and/or wear compression garments to keep the area from jiggling.  My experience is that is takes a while for Gabapentin to take full effect, so hang in there.  One thing I can tell you from vast experience with CoolSculpting patients who have experienced this pain is that they ultimately say that the results were worth it.
