All Pain Meds Make Me Itch Until I Go Crazy! Posted: 11-06-07 00:30am
Hi. I'm sorry if this has already been
covered. but I didn't see it. I'm having
spinal fusion on November 16 and I've been
taken off of Naproxon which is the only
thing in 2 years that gives me any relief
(about 3 hours a day). It thins the blood
so for surgery I can't be on it.
I'm back on 2 Oxycodone (Percocet) every 4
hours and I take 3 benedryl with it, and I
still itch! It's very uncomfortable. The
Benedrl dries my eyes out so that my
vision isn't as good as it should be. My
doctor found out from a dermatologist that
Zofran works for the itching. It worked
the first time, then it stopped.
Does anyone out there have the itching
problem? Anyone found out what to do
about it???
Boy, you would be helping me so much for
after the surgery!
