3 Weeks Post Coolscuplting
The pain during week 2 was crazy. So, crazy that I won't be going back even if works. I ended up get the pain patches which felt like they were burning me so I only used them twice. The Solarcaine and ice packs helped the most. I'm still numb and have itching but the nerve pain has subsided.

So far I have had swelling in and bruising on my lower abdomen and some itching. I am still wearing the spanx top and bottom. I did take a Tylenol PM lastnight just in case some pain kicked in.

Thanks to reviews on this page I was prepared for my treatment.
Lastnight I took 1 extra strength Tylenol before bed and 1hr prior to treatment I took 2 more. The initial 10 min suction and post deep tissue massage were painful but bearable. I had 2 - 1hr sessions on my top and lower abdomen. There were 4 applicators used during my seesions, 2 small ones on the top and 2 large ones on the bottom. I fell asleep during the first hour. I put a spanx top and bottom before leaving the dr which I think has kept the swelling down. I did go back to work after my treatment. After work I took a nap and at 6pm I took 1 more Tylenol for good measure not because I am in pain...lol. I am very tender to the touch but not in any pain. However, I was given a pain patch for 'just in case' pain. My instruction sheet says 'no Motrin or Ibuprofen' and to Solorcaine as needed. I asked the nurse about Biofreeze and she said it may cause burning. I also took as someone suggested a B-12, B-100, a liver cleanse tablet with Milk Thistle and Alpha Lipoic Acid this morning before the treatment. Tonight prior to bed I will be taking a Tylenol PM again just as a pain precaution. Overall, I feel tired and just want to lay down.
