female only Itching.

[mandyrenee82 59]

Is anyone else or has anyone else experienced this? My entire body is itching like its on fire!! I'm not dehydrated and my husband and I are constantly putting lotion on me. Even calamine lotion in the really itchy places (behind my knees). I don't know what else to do. It's like I'm being attacked by mobs of fleas. No rashes or anything. I figure it was because of losing the weight and skin changes. Anyone have any ideas? I'm desperate!! Thanks, Mandy

How far post op are you?

I am almost 3 weeks and have had itching and burning on my thighs. I was told by the nurse that its normal from the anaesthetic. Due for my post op check up in 2 weeks so will chat to my surgeon

I had surgery 4/16 so almost 4 weeks.

I don't know. Between this and a gout flare up in my left knee and left ankle 3 days after surgery, it's about to kill me!

Do you take any meds that could be causing this? I know HCTZ makes me itch like crazy. I can't take any of the blood pressure meds that have that in it. Just a thought....

That's awful!

Would be be cleared to take a Benydral?

This happened to me about 3 months out from my skin tightening from the weight loss the only reason I knew that was because it happened to me in basic training but just on the belly from the weight loss and toning so quick

[mandyrenee82 59]

I think it's because of skin changes. I don't take any kinds of those meds mentioned above. It seems to happen more at night than any other time and my legs are the worst.

I'm not sure if Benadryl is a drug we can have. Anyone else know?

[washffpm 56]

My Dr. Had me take Benadryl about a week after surgery do to a reaction to the glue that they used.

The pain meds they gave me made me itch and they gave me Benadryl in the hospital.
