Among the many reasons that I am excited for surgery is that the side effects of my pain medication are miserable. I need the pain medication to keep my kidney stone pain under control BUT the pain medication causes itching like you would not believe. From the top of my head to the tips of my toes, everything itches. I had chicken pox in the 4th grade and this is way worse. Quite possibly the worst part about this is that I've been taking my prescription anti itch medication and I'm still wide awake at 3am because I can't stop scratching.
Surgery can't come fast enough!!! In the meantime, what is your go to solution for itching?
