June 2, 2013
Asked By:cboz12

I am 6weeks post op liposuction of the stomach, love handles, and back.I am experiencing a great deal of pain/burning in the surgical areas.I was beginning to feel better at week 4.Now this pain/burning has started.I am feeling like I am taking steps backwards.I spoke with my surgeon's nurse she said this was due to the nerves healing.Then I spoke with my primary doctor he said my muscles needed to be stretch.He prescribed a muscle relaxer.Is this feeling normal at this stage of liposuction?
