Mid 40s, Pear Shape, Inner and Outer Thighs

Im in my 40s 5'8" and weigh 175 lbs. My body is a pear shape. When I lose weight I lose it from my chest and stomach first. It seems impossible to lose weight from my hips and thighs. Finding pants to fit is a nightmare. I wear a size med/large in shirts, but in jeans I wear a 16/18. I can never find a pair of jeans that fit correctly. When I get them to fit in the hip/thigh area... then the waist is 3 to 4" too big. I had coolsculpting on my inner and outer thighs 2 days ago. I went in expecting to feel some pain, but I felt nothing. I could have slept through the procedure it was that pain free. I heard the massage afterwards was uncomfortable and people cry and pass out during the massage, but in my case, the area was numb and I didnt feel anything. While I was having it done my friends were texting and asking what it felt like. I told them its a weird feeling when you first feel the suction, but it doesnt take long before you are use to it. I did feel the area get cold, but like the suction, I was use to it within a couple minutes. After it was all over I went to Target and bought a pair of spanx. I felt fine the rest of the night. The area was numb but I couldnt tell unless I felt the area. This procedure was so easy and pain free Im hoping it worked.

I had coolsculpting on my inner and outer thighs four days ago. I still have not experienced any pain. If I rub my inner thighs it does feel like I have a sunburn, but other than that it hasnt been bad. My outer thighs do not hurt at all, but I am starting to have a little bit of itching. Both areas still have some numbness, but I can tell Im getting feeling back. The hardest part is waiting for the results. I read all the reviews I could find before I had this done and it makes me nervous knowing a lot of people did not see results. I catch myself looking in a mirror every time I walk by one, trying to see if my outer thighs are smaller. I know I wont have results until the 2 month mark, but even if I saw the slightest change, I think it would put my mind at ease. I hope I didnt waste $3600.

On day 5 I started getting the feeling back on both the inner and outer thighs. Then the itching started. It only lasted a day or two on my inner thighs, but OMG the outer thighs are about to drive me crazy. They burn, itch, and are sore. I have tossed and turned the last two nights trying to get comfortable. I have noticed that if my jeans are tight then I dont seem to have much pain. As each day passes it does get better.

Im tired of dealing with this. I have 4 sessions left, and I had originally thought I would use them all on my outer thighs, but I dont like the thought of going through this month after month. I am now thinking of doing another round of inner and outer just so I can be done with it.... I want to be back to normal.
