dana67 1 Posted March 4, 2012 I had my revision on the 17th of February and now am dealing with a rash, redness, swelling and itching from a delayed reaction to the Heprin shots. Anyone else have to deal with this? How long before it got better? Dana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meredit 15 Posted March 4, 2012 Is the reaction right on the injection site? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IowaAndy 95 Posted March 4, 2012 I never was put on a bloood thinner after my surgery. Did you have some medical issues that your doctor put you on heparin? I know some doctors use the heparin and some do not and I am wondering if it is due to past medical issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncstatebabe 6 Posted March 4, 2012 I had the same reaction. I went to my PCP and she said to just put hydrocortisone cream on the spots 2X daily. They should go away within 1-2 weeks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dana67 1 Posted March 4, 2012 I have not had any medical issues, they just automatically do the injections. 3 in each side of my lower stomache, both sides are about 3x6 inches oval swollen, red and itchy. It has been a week and they are not any better yet but I am going to see my nurse on Monday. Really surprised me that it didi not start until 10 days after surgery.

Meredit 15 Posted March 4, 2012 10 days after my surgery my belly was COVERED with a rash and hives. I took benadryl orally, applied benadryl cream alternating with hydocortisone cream. I was so miserable, it lasted about 5-7 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndtimesacharm 35 Posted March 19, 2012 I have the same typeof rash. It is really bad it started first only over the incision sites but now has spread. I see the doctor on wednesday, cortisone nor benedryl are working. This sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
