I am 8 days post-op LHR. Today my hip swelled up so much it looks like a giant Country Ham. I don't really have an unusual amount of pain. I knew there would be some swelling, but I did not anticipate this. The hip and thigh feel hard as cement. I have no swelling below the knee.
Also -- I am itchy all over. I have been told this is a reaction to the anesthesia.
Has anybody else experienced this type of swelling or itchiness?
Hi Tania, post op I had horrible itching,my face ,my arms,and body.The Dr.told me it was from the anesthesia and pain meds, so they gave me benadril,for a few days,but I was still on the hospital. Good luck with everything.
Thanks for your response. Just regular, over-the-counter? I will get some ;D
