Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Finally Pain Free
Hard to believe it took me 17 days after the procedure to finally be rid of the pain. I am now on day 20 and just itchy and swollen. Can't wait for everything to be normal again.
12 days post-procedure - still on Ice 24/7
Once my ice pack warms up, the stabbing sensation returns and the only relief is a fresh cold pack. I cannot do my job at 100% when I require fresh ice every 90 minutes. Sleeping is the same. I awake to horrible pain every 90 minutes. Waiting for this pain to subside as it seems to on day 12-14.
8 Days Post Procedure - Ice Required 24/7
The pain has changed. It is no longer the Zappy nerve firings from days 4-7, it is now an obnoxious, unbearable, roaring ache. Thankfully the ice pack immediately (within 2 mintues) relieves any pain. I am no longer taking any OTC analgesics as the best solution is to tuck an ice pack between the compression garment and my lower abdomen. I don't use Ice per se, but the blue ice compresses from Walgreens that I purchased for my previous surgeries. It feels so soothing.
I should note I initially found a cold washcloth also works well. I suppose the nerve endings just need to feel something cold. Maybe the cold stimulus quiets the nerves by distracting them in some way.
