got a question for all who have had surgery

Good Evening Peeps! I was wondering if any of you have had itchy legs and  or feet.  I had them last year..then it stopped for awhile and now its starting again.....Last night while watching tv I started to scratch my ankles and i just couldnt stop.....I finally got off the bed and put some water on my legs and some skin lotion....but it drove my crazy....anybody else have this problem?   Carol B

Hi Ya, Yes i have the same thing it is usually when the warm weather breaks and then it fades away and then again once the cold weather is back. It is just dry skin. I have found that is I use Vitiman E lotion or My newest fave is the Jergins firming lotion it is fine. I try to use the firming one in the morning and the vitmin E at night and especially after showering. You can get both in good size containers at B.J's really cheap!!Hope this helps.

Hi DD Thanks for the infor.......i guess I am not alone..... Carol B

Hi Carol, I havent had that issue.. but do get dry skin from time to time. Make sure you are getting your fluids in and LUBE UP with lotion.  LOL

I used to get this all the time (before surgery even).  I would get so bad I would have to wear socks to sleep otherwise when sleeping I would scratch my feet nearly raw. I have discovered a great product- even really good for those with sensative skin.  Body Butters by The Body Shop.  Come in incredible scents (not too heavy though).  Just put em on right out of the shower, and it melts into your skin and is absorbed very easily, unlike a lot of lotions where they just make ya slippery.  The mositurizing lasts at least 24 hours per application.  Hubby keeps touching my skin amazed at how soft it is.  I know I sound like a damn commercial for this stuff- but I used to have really terrible dry skin and this stuff worked wonders for me.  (so much so that I started doing home spa parties with it because I believe in it so much- and buy so much I needed the discount- lol) http://www.thebodyshopathome.com/web/mdegrange/products/over view.do?catalogId=tbs_bodybutter&superCatalogId=tbs_body that link should take you right to them and can see all the selection  PM me with any questions!!

I've had this problem for years...it's nothing to do with surgery, atleast for me.  I use Dove bar soap for shaving and Dove body wash for washing up. It helps alittle but winter is the worse time for me. I use CVS Eucerin lotion if needed. It's thick and non greasy.   Adding water will probably just irritate it more.

Hi Carol, Can't say that I had that issue.  I hope it goes away soon.
