Anxious :-(

I am so anxious/ worried u guys. Its sunday and the doc wont be in until tomorrow but ive been struggling with a few things i want to talk to yall about.

First... I have a horrible rash around each incision site and it itches something fierce! So im completly miserable! I will post a picture of it for yall.

Second... I notice my hands and legs/feet go numb when im in certain positions. My hands tingle and go numb when my elbow is bent and when im sitting (using the bathroom) my legs and feet go numb/tingle and if i adjust or move to a different position i feel it go away. Its just wierd!!!! Its happening alot.

Im 4 weeks post op on tuesday and ive hit a stall and that has me down. My anxiety is through the roof and im scared as to whats wrong with me. I keep freaking out about getting a blood clot (they scare me to death) and my blood pressure was 166/102 pulse was 96. :-( im a huge mess falling apart! I need you guys :-(

I feel the same way :-( but i know it will get better! But man, i wish i could just snap my fingers and make this rash go away! Ive never been so itchy in all my life! I get really sad at mexican food restaraunts :-( im scared i wont ever b able to have some chips and salsa ever again :-(

I went through exactly the same things I think maybe it is an allergy to the glue and the healing process. It was horrible for about a week. The above things mentioned all helped me. I also gained and freaked out, six pounds at the same time out as you followed by a crazy long stall. Good news is it broke and I started losing very fast again. Nothing would have helped me feel better at the time, but I promise you aren't going to fail. Hang in there and let your body heal. It will get better.
