Itching like crazy!

I am almost 3 weeks post op and I have been having itching spells ever since I've been released from the hospital! I don't know if it's the morphine finally giving me a reaction or what. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Just means you're healing . Try not to scratch, get some Aveeno lotion, it helps

    At 1st I thought it was due to healing but there are areas itching that wasn't even touched in surgery.

    I know painkillers make me itch. I thought I was going crazy but if you google it, it does come up. The lower part of my face and chest will itch like crazy.

    I have tons of areas - all belly- itching where there are no incisions. It's the healing. My abdomen was pulled, inflated and god knows what else. Lotion and rub don't scratch
