CoolSculpting complications: top part of my stomach just under my rib cage is incredibly painful.

March 24, 2018
Asked By:suzieg1973 in Surrey, BC

I recently had 4 applications of cool sculpting on my stomach and 2 on my upper arms (bingo wings). All of them bar one have just numbness and a bit of bruising however one o. The top part of my stomach just under my rib cage is incredibly painful. I feel like I have torn a muscle or have a hernia. It is uncomfortable to even touch lightly, walk or sit down. Is this normal? Should I go to A&E? I have had two natural childbirths so don’t think I am a woos to pain! But this is so sore.
