29 Coolsculpting of Upper and Lower Abs - Surrey, BC

The pain stopped in week 3, I no longer need gabapentin. The area is still a bit tender though. The swelling has gone down but i don't see a difference yet. By pictures were post treatment, I should have taken some before treatment to really tell the difference. But I will be waiting 2 more months before making my decision on whether or not this has worked. I'm also going to start working out again, I took three weeks off because of the nerve pain and wouldn't be surprised if I gained a few pounds.

So the flanks were so comfortable, some tenderness which is almost all gone but thankfully no nerve pain! I'm still having nerve pain in my stomach area but it's getting less and less everyday. Feels more itchy now. I'm still taking gabapentin too, so I'm not sure if maybe it's just working better now so that's why I feel better? I will continue to take it for a bit still. No real changes, just not as swollen. I will do an update post next week at the three week mark and take some pictures.

I did two areas using the cool curve applicator to my right side flanks yesterday. It was a completely different feeling than the abs-totally painless procedure! After the initial suction I couldn't even feel the treatment, for the first area I actually took a nap lol. The massage didn't hurt at all either. It was completely different than the abs which I did find to be uncomfortable. Today I do have some minor bruising and swelling to the area and its a bit tender. I'm doing the left side tomorrow.

Unfortunately my abs are on fire right now, I really don't think the gabapentin is working and nerve pain is getting worse. I couldn't even sleep last night. I'll be contacting the office to see if I can up my dose again. Has anyone tried pregablin/Lyrica for the nerve pain? I'm wondering if it may work better for me than gabapentin but it seems like everyone gets gabapentin.
