Any advice / tips are GREATLY appreciated!!! 

I've mentioned before, I'd almost rather feel the pain because I'm not tempted to touch / scratch the pain!

I don't have any advice but would love some!  My thigh incisions itch so bad!!!!!  Wish I had an answer for ya!  Are you keeping any ointment on it so maybe it's not so dry?  I keep triple antibiotic on mine & THINK it helps some, but I really don't know!

 I have the same issues, and shooting pain feelings down my arms which is from the nerves regenerating.

I found at night I sleep better if I take a Tylenol PM or Benedryl that is enough to take the edge off those feelings to I can fall asleep and stay asleep.

Have you tried Dermoplast Spray...? It has a cooling, numbing effect...it's always worked for me, anytime, I have had a large incision...

Thanks everyone!  I have been putting some vitamin e oil where the skin is not cut / open and antibiotic cream on a few spots that are. 

This too shall pass!

I was glad for the compression garment, I could scratch, but it didn't hurt anything.  I used Benedryl.  When I'd take off my garment, I'd scratch around but not too close to the scabs.  It does get better.
