Nothing is making the itching stop. The worst part is that the left side of my leg has nerve damage and is slightly numb from where a screw was put in, and the sensation extends to my knee. The feeling is very strange. Thankfully it’s only the left side of my leg. The right side, that had the more extensive hardware put in, (2 tightrope devices) is totally fine in regards to nerves.
I can’t wait until I’m fully recovered. This whole ordeal is the worst.
I can guess how maddening that is for you. One of my partners is recovering from a bilateral reduction, and she was lucky enough to be allergic to the pain meds, so she had to deal with her whole body itching for a few days before she just stopped taking them.
Hope the itching stops, you may be able to take Benadryl or something for the itching to make it more tolerable.
Bonus if benadryl puts you to sleep like it does me, that way the itching is solved because you’re not awake to feel it
Unfortunately she’s got insomnia right now, so it’s extra special.
