Asked By:Turndwn4what in Ohio, OH

Hello, I had a bbl 2 weeks ago and now my lower back, lower abdominal area and flanks are hard as a brick. I have been in too much pain to wear the lumbar back board and lipo foams. It’s to the point now that I have to double up on my pain pills to relieve the back pain especially on my spine. What should I do at this point? My boyfriend tried to massage it out but it didn’t help. It’s still brick hard like concrete. Please help thank you
