I had liposuction to breast/abdomen/flanks and back on 12/17/2015. I continue to experience the pins and needles with burning pain sensation more so to the flank areas. I find that wearing a compression garment "calms" the nerve endings, and provide support. I wear it during work, then at bedtime. I'm taking Vitamin B's/DHA and Vitamin E.
