Sjay Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I am so itchy everywhere! My scalp particularly and almost every part of my body ? what could be causing it, could it be the tramadol I'm taking? It's driving me crazy!!

Gabby1 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Sounds like you might be having a reaction to one of the meds they are giving you. Consult you surgeon or GP asap. Good luck. Sjay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle and discrete Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 If you are taking anything morphine based ie endone, OxyContin etc then yes! I can't take any of that as I want to scratch my skin off! Talk to your dr. I had to take phenergan until it wore off and used tramadol.

Newboobies81 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Ask the ps if you can take Phenergen or an anti-histamine with the meds. It might help but some people do react to them.

MaisieF Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I had awful skin & itching post op too. Dandruff, peeling skin, eczema - the works. Then hayfever on top which makes my skin itch like crazy. Hopefully an antihistamine works for you. It did for me?
