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.
The gabapentin works pretty well for my headaches. I take 400mg daily and it does well combined with the aimovig I take once a month. I only get about one migraine a month now.
I am currently on venlafaxine for my depression. My psychiatrist also put me on amitriptyline for the nerve pain and it’s taken the pain away for the most part. Now I’m just dealing with the weird numbness and annoying itchiness. I left a message for my surgeon to see if I should be worried about the numbness. It’s starting to spread and I just wanna make sure it’s nothing serious lol.
