Re: Another Post-Op Question: Percoset!

[Guest guest]

Hi Clare

Seems to me that you might very well be having an allergic reaction to the

meds. I would call your doctor and let him know. There might be another

medication in a different class of drugs that will work for pain and not give

you the same reaction.

take care!

Hi,

I hope I am not bothering you all at this point, but I guess thats what this

site is for!

I have been prescribed Percoset for pain when I got home. Like I said

before, I was on morphine in the hospital, and that worked perfectly until I

was supposed to go home, and they gave me regular tylenol, which wasnt

working out so well. So I was off of morphine around 10am, and taking

Tylenol at noon, and finally got home at about 7pm, and took the percoset as

soon as I got in. I have been taking the 2 pills every 4 hours, and I took 2

pills yesterday at 7pm, 11pm, and 3am. I woke up around 4am feeling very

itchy everywhere. My parents got me some benadryl, and that kicked in right

away and now I feel less itchy. ut has anyone else had this problem? The

percoset is working great for pain and discomfort, if it wasnt for the

itching. I know benedryl is pretty harmless, but Is taking benedryl and

percoset a long term solution, or should I call my doctor tomorrow? Any

advice would be great!! Thanks again, and sorry to be a bother!

Hi Clare,

You are so pretty!! I think your pictures look great! I don't think

your swelling looks that big, but I am sure it feels that way!

If you are having an allergic reaction, I am glad you made the

change. If your body doesn't like something, the reactions can get

worse, and you don't want to go there. Been there, done that!

UGH!! lol

Get some rest, and will watch for your posts as you feel up to it.

Hugs,

Fran
