One month stomach

  • 5 Aug 2016
  • 30 days post
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.

Two weeks stomach, one week flanks

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.

Did the right side flanks yesterday :)

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.

Marta is great, she made me feel comfortable and she was very honest about what to expect about the swelling and possibility of nerve pain, which I appreciate. She did all of my treatments. So I'm giving 5 stars based on my experience not my results because I don't have results yet. The payment process the first day I thought I paid it all but the girl up front messed up and on my second treatment day I had to pay more because she forgot to add something so I was kind of annoyed because I just wanted to go home and was kind of disappointed because I originally thought I would only be paying 2200. I think she was new or something but overall a great experience.
