Horrible Pain from Coolsculpting, Didn’t Experiance This when I Did It in 2015
I am dealing with horrible nerve pain from coolsculpting as well! This is awful and I am regretting doing it. I can’t believe how many other complaints about this I am finding. I did my abdomen and flanks in 2015 and had no side effects at all. I have had a baby since so I decided to do more coolsculpting. I did my outter thighs 13 days ago and haven’t slept since!!!! I have given birth without any meds twice and this recovery is so much worse! Why is this not listed anywhere as a side effect???? I had the newest technology and applicator which is supposed to be better for this side effect and it isn’t. I do notice days when I walk a lot and workout it makes the pain better. It is by far the worst at night. I constantly ice before I go to bed and fall asleep with ice packs. I called my dr and she just prescribed Gabapentin which I am nervous about taking as it is an anti-seizure medication that comes with a list of side effects-WTF!?!?! The way my dr reacted is this is common with coolsculpting and no big deal. I did get it done one my lower abdomen the same day as my outter thighs and I have had no issues with that area. The outter thigh area was a lot longer procedure, it makes me think the paddles were left on for too long. I messaged coolsculpting on Facebook about this problem and they haven’t gotten back to me. Honestly I am surprised there isn’t a class action law suit for this!!!! I am beyond frustrated and very tired, beware of this side effect!
