34yrs Old with Baby Pouch - West Bloomfield, MI

I had the same issue...the only thing that worked for me was using ice packs. I usually hate using ice for pain, strains and such, but it was a life saver. I didn't get the pills for nerve pain and it was pretty bad for 5 days.

Thank you for commenting. I went yesterday and got the pills, however I am still having the burning sensation. I'm using the ice packs and yes it relieves the pain. How long does this last? And my stomach looks bigger since I had the procedure. Today marks week 1. How long ago did you have the procedure done?

I wore a girdle to compress the area and it worked. My pain stopped on day 5, so i guess is different for everyone. Good luck

I had the whole body vibration done for nerve pain and it worked. My pain stopped day 5

I had pain too! Lots of sharp shooting needles like pain. I constantly alternated two ice packs on my tummy to numb the pain. I tied it with a scarf around my tummy so even when I had to get up & walk I had it in me. It was very helpful. Also my dr prescribed a medication that was supposed to calm the nerve endings. But honestly, it didn't help my pain go away! Even when he upped the dose to 4 tabs/ day! Ice was my friend for 4 weeks.

Same here.

I had 8 treatments done three weeks ago. The areas (abs, tummy, flanks) that were sucked into that machine are still painful to the touch. It's simply not true what they say about no downtime! I haven't been able to run in three weeks. I tried with an Ace bandage wrapped around my belly, but that only caused a prickly itch. :( I was also bigger after I got it done up until a few days ago... I noticed a slight difference. Hubby says he's starting to be able to tell. My weight is the same, which I expected since I've pretty much been sedentary since then. I did swim though... that felt good. Anyway, at week 3 I still have numbness in all the areas, painful to the touch, and can't run. But I can see SOME differences...

I think some of the reviews I read stated that after the procedure, the treated area would be swollen. I don't think mine mine swollen I think I just felt like I was because it was so sensitive. I still got my same clothes when I left and the following days. But I felt like I was bigger because of the sensitivity.

And yes, patience is a virtue! It will slowly get better! Just hang in there!

I got the procedure done two days ago. I thought i just had very low pain tolerance because I almost cried when my stomach was sucked into the machine. And the massage?? OMG! That was torture. I stayed home from work the day of the procedure and yesterday. I'm still hurting and extremely bloated, which i expected from reading the reviews and also the tech told me i would be swollen for a few days. It hurts to move. I had lower and upper abs done. I can't wait to start to see results.

I had cool sculpting on the abs as well. First procedure went smoothly, only pain was the 'thawing' massage that really was excruciating. Second go round didn't go quite so smoothly. The thawing massage was so painful I felt nauseous and had to get up and walk around. Felt okay the next day, but two days after the nerve pain started and was the worst thing I've ever experienced. Pins and needles pain that really never subsides. Prescription meds did not help this! It had to run its course which was about six days. Sorry you've experienced so much pain as well. My doctor never mentioned the possibility of such pain. There's no way to predict who it occurs with who escapes. Results were okay, not stellar. I would definitely never do this again! Hope your results kicked in and you're pleased with it :).
