Pain killers bad for CoolSculpting? I'm 10 days post and the pain is awful.

Asked By:toniacol in Toronto, ON

I had Coolsculpting about 10 days ago now and the pain is so awful still. I was just advised by a doctor that pain killers are not recommended post-CoolSculpting treatment because they do not target the nerve and can slow down my body's ability to eliminate the frozen fat cells. Is this true? I've been taking them for 10 days as advised by the clinic that did my coolsculpting. Should I stop taking Tylenol? Would this now have a negative effect on my CS results?
