Nothing is making the itching stop. The worst part is that the left side of my leg has nerve damage and is slightly numb from where a screw was put in, and the sensation extends to my knee. The feeling is very strange. Thankfully it’s only the left side of my leg. The right side, that had the more extensive hardware put in, (2 tightrope devices) is totally fine in regards to nerves.

I can’t wait until I’m fully recovered. This whole ordeal is the worst.

    Omg I had a bilateral reduction a few years ago and it was awful. I hope your partners’ recovery goes smoothly! It’s a rough one, for sure.

    I tried a Benadryl yesterday and all it did was knock me out for 12 hours. That’s better than being itchy, but I work tomorrow and can’t sleep that long again lol.

      Thank you for the well wishes! She’s about 3 weeks out and is not happy about being limited now that she’s hit that fun part where people hurt themselves lol.

        I remember that stage. I went on vacation with a guy I was dating at that stage and I couldn’t do any of the fun shit on the nearby lake. I just sat on the boat.
