Allergic Reaction

[kswin79 16]

Well finally went back to the doctor and the nurse practioner decided to send me to the urgent care to get a prednisone shot to stop the allergic reaction. I went to urgent care and they gave me the shot(in the butox)LOL!! And gave me prednisone by mouth for another 10 days, hydroxyzine for the itching which i have not experienced since the shot and she threw in some topical cream to put on the spots that were red around my incisions and they are no longer that color and this all happened on Friday March 18th. Thanks god for good physicians and meds. No longer Itchy!!!

I had a rash after my surgery that turned out to be ringworm. My sister works at the hospital and said it's not unusual for people to leave with an infection of something or other. Ringworm is a fungus that is in soil. Well, when they moved me around, they put my shoes right on top of my blanket. Voila! I was told it was my fault for not putting my shoes in the plastic bag - well, duh, I was smart enough not to put my shoes in the same bag with my clothes...

I too am itching everywhere. My surgery was on March 15, 2011. While on the pain meds for a week I felt no itching only on my stomach. I am off the medication but I am itching everywhere. My hands, legs, stomach, back....everywhere. I took benadryl and that is not working. After reading your post, I am going to an allergist. Might even have to go to an urgent care. I really cannot stand this itching.

Yes I recommend going to urgent care and tell them that you are itching and think it is the allergic reaction because they will give you a shot and some meds after that instantly i was cured!! LOL!!! Havent had a itch since...Hope all works out because that itchy feeling is not a good feeling at all! Good Luck!
