Bonus if benadryl puts you to sleep like it does me, that way the itching is solved because you’re not awake to feel it
Comment on My incisions from ankle surgery have hit the itchy stage of healing and it's driving me crazy

I can guess how maddening that is for you. One of my partners is recovering from a bilateral reduction, and she was lucky enough to be allergic to the pain meds, so she had to deal with her whole body itching for a few days before she just stopped taking them.
Hope the itching stops, you may be able to take Benadryl or something for the itching to make it more tolerable.

Unfortunately she's got insomnia right now, so it's extra special.

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.
