Itchy hands?!?

[CheckerCorgi 8]

I have an odd question. I am 12 days post op and still on clear/full liquids. I have stuck to the plan and I am getting my liquids and Proteins in. Yesterday my palms started itching really bad and it is continuing today. Has this happened to anyone else? I have my follow up on Tuesday and plan to ask the doc them but it is driving me nuts!

@@CheckerCorgi I think that means you're about to get a lot of money! hahaha.....sorry I couldn't pass that up. But seriously it could possible be a reaction to something. Are you taking any pain meds now?

I had this as well about a week out. It eventually went away a few days later. I actually held onto an ice pack and that helped with the itching. Mine felt like it was under the skin.

Are you still taking pain meds? I believe those can cause itching. If you are 12 days out liquid Tylenol should more than do it for you. Good luck!

And of course most importantly... Call ur doctor and let them know in case it's something else.

No pain meds. Hubby just picked up some children's liquid Benadryl and it did seem to help a little. Hopefully it keeps helping!

I had itchy hands! Try lotion - it went away eventually. No idea the cause. My doc said pain meds but I was off them for a week before the itching!
