I did my Coolsculpting 4 days ago, flanks and lower abdomen. First time. I have a lot of bruising and I’m a bit swollen. All tolerable! I slept in an odd position last night and my neck hurts a lot! What can I take to help relieve pain that is not associated with CoolSculpting? Normally I would use ibuprofen (6oo mg) but it is not recommended. What CAN I take?
