Normal for tenderness and numbness at the same time 10 days after CoolSculpting?

Caddiegirl
The skin in the area feels numb on the surface, There is not bruising at all, but it feels like a bruise under the skin. Skin feels numb. Kind of weird to feel numb and pain at the same time. I can't wear jeans as all mine are kind of close fitting and it would hurt. Also the fat in the area prior to the treatment was quite 'fluffy' and pliable and now it is kind of firm. Not any smaller, but just feels 'stiffer' and a little bigger, hard to describe really. Is this normal?
