Still sore and tender. A LOT of itching but this time it's surface itchiness. I'm really wondering something. It really burnt this time. So much so that even applying my hot/cold bean bag thingy over top my thick polar fleece pants burnt so badly I couldn't use it. What I'm wondering is, the skin in that area is damaged (I have a lot of stretch marks and it's very lax) and I think the extreme cold may have damaged it further. There is no outward signs but maybe it's underlying. I know the itching indicates healing but I wonder if it's healing from the burning or if it's shrinking. I'm thinking the former. I'm keeping it moisturized well in any case. Oh well, we'll see...keep your fingers crossed for me!

Hang in there! Thank you for all of your posts. I keep going back and forth...but haven't been able to commit to doing it. I hope you have an amazing outcome!
Thank you! I hope so too :)
Sadly this is how the treatment affected me as well. It will be gone in a couple of months. I used nerve pain cream, it helped for a bit. I have seen other post that there is a nerve blocker you can get from a doctor.
Hi! It's better now but still tender. I hope I start seeing something soon!
Hey there roes1,
I'm getting my first coolsculpting procedure tomorrow morning and I am soooo nervous and exciting after reading your posts. I'm scared for the inevitable pain that will come afterwards but if I am lucky enough to get the results that you did then it will be worth it! Is there any advice you would give to someone getting this procedure?
Can't wait to read your latest update. I had my first treatment yesterday!
How is it going now girl? Does it look like it was worth it?

Wow and OUCH!!

Ok this was definitely not this bad the first time! Last night was almost unbearable! I'm back at work today and keeping busy helps but the pain is still there and almost as strong. I really don't know if I'll do this again. I took 2 Tylenol last night and after an hour I took another coz there was zero improvement :(

hope you are feeling better. Looking forward to new pictures. Judging by the last ones you posted, you've had great results. I am considering it, I exercise and try to eat healthy but there is always some stubborn fat that doesn't want to go away.
Hi thank you, I'm feeling better but still sore. It's been over two weeks now so this run is much different than the first. If there isn't as much improvement as the first, I probably won't do this again :(
All the best with yours!
