6 days post-op and experiencing itchy feet

Hi there,

I had an amazingly uneventful surgery and recuperation so far (was even discharged a day early from the hospital).  I've had no nausea or problems swallowing and have been getting in my fluids every day, too.  I just noticed today, however, that the soles of my feet are itching like crazy, despite putting moisturizing cream on them every morning.  I haven't taken any pain medications since day 2 post-op, so I know it's not a reaction to that.  I also don't have a gallbladder; it was removed in 2008 -- don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I will call my surgeon's office in the morning, but was curious if anyone else has had this happen to them as well.

Thank you.

Kelly

I had this.  It was especially bad in the middle of the night.  I told my doc and he narrowed it down to two possibilities: an allergic reaction or liver enzyme issues.  For me, it turned out to be an allergic reaction to a med I was on.

Good idea about calling your doc in the morning.  Better safe than sorry.

Glad you are doing well otherwise!

Congrats on the easy surgery!

After any surgery there can be side effects.

Itchy feet could be your bodies way of showing swelling.

Put your feet up. Take it easy.

Talk to your doctor.

I'm very happy for you.

See you on the losers bench
