Well let's see... Describe my motivation... I've been up and down with my weight and no matter how much I lose I still had my "kangaroo pouch"! Not so cool, however I was ready for a change, I was tired of pulling my pants over my belly, and I did extensive "Googling" regarding Cool Sculpting before scheduling for a consultation with my dermatologist. I had four areas treated, two small applicators on upper abdomen and two large on my lower abdomen. We were able to do two sections at a time, upper right with lower left and then switched. I was there for about 2.5 hours. The initial suction feels like someone pinching you really hard, but after about 10 minutes or so, I didn't feel anything... Well that was until the applicator was removed and the massage started... Sheesh such an odd uncomfortable feeling, but tolerable. But now on day three after procedure I'm able to not have as much pain, some areas are numb, but it's not like I'm struggling. I did wear my waist trainer majority of the time afterwards just to keep swelling down a bit. I'll try to remember to update weekly so I wil hopefully see changes...oh! I am working out doing lots of cardio maybe twice a day, 5 miles per day, every other day, with sweatband around abdomen

Day 5

The sharp pains are very annoying. I'm still a little swollen, but this is the first night I've really had serious sharp pains and I can't sleep. Praying this lets up soon.

This is my 5th day after having the SC done on my abdomen in three areas. I'm experiencing bad pinching and extremely painful sensitivity .Other times itchy and some burning. I am also still swollen. I have been putting an ice pack on my stomach, which seems to help. I'm also taking over the counter extra strength Tylenol 500mg each, but I take 2 which is perfectly fine, my Dr. Said. I'm so nervous that there is no end in sight.

Same. I'm day 5 also with the same issues and insufficient remedies. I have been told that it gets better after about two weeks. I'm three days into the crazy pain and can't imagine another 11. But know that you're not solo.

Pain and NO SLEEP- Day 6 post procedure at 1:15 AM

Well the stinging pain woke me from my sleep... I had to come lay on the couch and take some Tylenol and get some cold packs from the freezer and lay them on my stomach. I'm really hoping this stops soon, it's so painful and I am tired!

I was going through the same thing and told my doctor. she prescribed me GABAPENTIN 300mg capsules and it worked. It took about an hour or so for it to kick in and I continuously kept putting ice packs on my stomach and before I know it it stopped and I fell asleep. I'm sure your doctor will prescribe this for you. Good luck!!

I'm convinced that someone knows the magic pill or the magic drink to make it stop.
I'm with the both of you!! This is my 5th day after CS. and having a lot of pins and needles. I recently read this could happen actually the 3rd-5th day after. My Dr. Prescribed "GABAPENTIN" 300mg capsules. I just took it a few minutes ago. I'm hoping this will help me. Luckily I needed only one treatment, because I would NEVER do this again.
My doc (who I'm not fond of. He initially told me to tough it out bc he didn't think it was that bad) prescribed 100mg capsules three times per day.
I talked to the pharmacist who fulfilled, she mentioned that it was a very low dose.
I have taken two doses now and have minimal relief.
I was looking over your comment and was wondering if you would anything different , was it worth, what did you get done how much did it cost of you don't mind me asking !!!!
I'm 5 days after CS and I had very bad pain during the treatment. I'm still hurting really bad. Pins and needles, swollen and tender. Ugh
