almost 3 weeks in my foot on my operated side was itching really bad. I woke up to find I had developed a large bruise on my foot (not from the scratchin). I have since developed hives all over my legs and some on my arm. The only thing I can think of is that I have been on indomethecin for three weeks. Nothing else is different.
Can I develope an alergic reaction to indomethecin after 2 1/2 weeks?
I'm certainly no doctor, but allergies can develop at almost any time. Get it checked out by a doctor!
All I can say is that I woke up the day after surgery with horrible itching all over! The nurses told me it was probably the anesthesia and it would go away once I flushed those meds out of my body. I drank water religiously and the itching was gone in a day or so. Not sure if that is much help.
I had a HR with Dr. Gross in Aug. 2008. After I got home I broke out all over. It was determined I was allergic to the vicodin. After consulting Lee Webb, I stopped the vicodin took benadryl and extra strength tylenol for pain. I never had any more problems.
Well after 19 days on indomethecin I developed the alergy to it. Doctor said or should I say the PA assisting the doctor said it wasn't the indomethecin and to continue. I was miserable and had stopped everyting but the indomethecin. I stopped as I couldn't take it any longer and the alergy/hives got immediately better.
