  • 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.

More than a month and still hurting

I am a little over a month out and my arms still hurt. I wonder if this is normal? One arm is horribly tight, swollen, lumpy, and hurts worse than the other. My legs don't hurt, but are still lumpy. Wondering if I made the right choice. Still wearing cg as directed, massage, etc. Going to call the doc if I don't see any improvement after this weekend.

Ready to feel normal or at least slightly normal!

Still Healing

My swelling has gone down some and the pain is definitely better. One arm is tight and really swollen, I think I must use that side more then the other. I am wearing the compression garment still and it actually reduces the amount of pain after a long day. I still have bruising, but I bruise easily. Trying to drink lots of water and taking a water pill to help bring down some of the swelling. I still am on the fence as to whether I should have gone forward with the procedure. Only time will tell.

I do have support at home, but only one person actually knows I had the procedure done. Crazy, but I didn't want to be judged for my decision. It has been hard to hide from my kids. They are way to curious and I didn't realize how much they actually observe. They knew something was up...I'm glad most of the bruising is gone.

Still not sure...

I am still incredibly sore. My arms just hurt! Bruising is almost gone, but I am very swollen, lumpy, and my skin is hard in places. I try to massage, but I still hurt. This part is way worse then the actual procedure. It's still early, so I am hopeful still.
