What's the best topical pain relief after CoolSculpting?

Denise c226
I had cool sculpting done six days ago, the procedure itself was unbearable(they had to medicate me) I also have a pretty high tolerance for pain. I have the burning, stabbing, feels like someone set my nerves on fire or keeps shocking me pain that people have described on here. Advil doesn't work Generic Vicodin didn't work Cold or hot on the areas didn't work Help! Is there a topical cream I can go buy or something??
