KRISPYKREME 0 Posted April 29, 2009 :biggrin: Hey everyone. I had LB surgery yesterday and last night and today my face and arms are red, hot and arms are itchy. My sites are fine, I do not have a fever and don't really feel too bad. Just curious if this is a post op thing or a me thing. Had IV potassium just b/4 surgery yesterday. Maybe from that? Or maybe from general anethesia? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They need to know, plus if it is really bothersome, they can give you something to take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ParrotheadCathy 0 Posted April 29, 2009 Are you taking any pain medication? I am allergic to Lortabs (hydrocode), and have the same reaction as you are describing. Switch to liquid Tylenol and take a little liquid Benadryl to alleviate the itching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
