Why do I still have so much discomfort and even pain around my waist after tumescent lipo?

PinkOctober
I had lipo in May, It has been about 25 days since lipo. I have pain still, mainly on my waist and light soreness on my tummy area. At the first week I asked for more pain meds and they said take Tylenol. It did nothing for me, I was in so much pain. I don't know what else to do have some relief. Is there any other type of prescription meds I can take? I've had a terrible experience coming from the office that did the procedure. Would my regular doctor be able to prescribe something? please Help
