8 days post Zeltiq for my abs (lrg device). Immediately I had EXTREME swelling. Day 8 & I'm still VERY swollen (hot to the touch). 4 days ago this 24/7 SHARP bee sting-like pain started. Not all over, random 'spots'. Nothing helps (creams, pain relievers, ice). I haven't slept in 3 nights. Went back to the doc today. She said inflammation is the body's natural response & this may indicate a better result. Does this make sense? Stinging pain is from inflammation pinching nerves? RX'd steroids?
Answer: Discomfort After Coolsculpting Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to have delayed onset of pain around 5 days after Coolsculpting. The intermittent discomfort tends to subside within a week. It generally takes about 1 to 2 weeks for the swelling subside. I do recommend compression for 3 weeks to help with these symptoms. I recommend contacting your Coolsculpting specialist as they can prescribe medications which can reduce the intensity of the discomfort. Best regards.

CONTACT NOW Answer: CoolSculpting Delayed Onset Pain It sounds like you are experiencing delayed onset pain from CoolSculpting treatment. This is a rare occurrence, but as you describe, can be very painful. Anti-inflammatory medication, such as ibuprofen, can be helpful in reducing your pain. While this reaction usually only lasts for a week or so, I suggest contacting your provider to rule out any other cause for the pain and to potentially prescribe medication that may be helpful.

Answer: Delayed Pain It is not uncommon to have delayed onset pain after a Coolsculpting procedure. This pain is more commonly experienced with abdominal Coolsculpting. It starts 3-5 days after the procedure and can last 10 days or so. This pain is nerve based and is best treated with Neurontin. Ask your physician to prescribe you some. Best of luck, Sheila Nazarian

Answer: CoolSculpting Side Effects Sometimes nerve pain can be a result of treatment with coolsculpting, especially with the CoolMax applicator. The never pain can have a delayed and prolonged onset. Over the counter pain meds can be helpful, but you may also ask your provider if they recommend a prescription medication for nerve pain such as neurontin. Many patients also find relief with some compression on the area as well. I'm not sure the amount of pain is indicative of the result you will get at all, but all of the symptoms normally always get better with time. Definitely consult with your provider if things do not improve.
