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

Asked By:mwerner8 in Madison, WI

I had Cool Sculpting completed last Friday, January 7, 2017 & have been so uncomfortable and in such pain. The explanations of others who have posted that it feels like broken glass in your belly is spot on. I haven't been able to workout, I am sleep deprived and just miserable. I called the location where I had this done and they called in a RX for Gabapentin. I too am taking extra strength Tylenol and Benadryl. NOTHING helps. Any suggestions?
