Can I Use a Numbing Cream (Like Neuragen) After Coolsculpting?

CaJo
I had CoolSculpting done 6 days ago.... Device #8 was used in my lower abdomen area..... My abdominal area is swollen, and I have this painfull needle-like sensation. Also, my stomach is so tender than I cannot stand having pants on. I cannot be sitting down or walk for long periods of time. My doctor prescribed me some tylenol-cod, but it has not help at all. I was wondering if I could use a numbing cream on my abdominal area to relief the pain? Or what else could I use to easy the pain?
