good morning everybody! I have a question for my compadres.

4 weeks out today. Feeling much better.
Just hating this seroma.
I see my PS tomorrow. We'll see what he says.
My concern is that it has gotten very hard...looks and feels like a golf ball.
Boo.

Anyway, took 4 week pics this morning after my shower.
Will put them up tonight when I get home from work.

My question is this...for anyone else who has had arms done...
WTF is this itching???

Holy crap. For the last week I have been wanting to claw my skin off.
My arms itch like mad, all over, not just the incisions.
Worse at night.
It was so bad last night I had to take Benadryl to finally go to sleep.
Knocked my ass out. I am such a light weight when it comes to medicine!

Did anyone else experience this? Did anything help?

I will ask my guy tomorrow but I wanted to check in with you guys too.

Thanks in advance!!!

Good Morning!!

I havent had the arms done but my incisions itch so did my Tat when it was healing.. I have taken benadryl at night cause I dont want to scratch my skin either. I think the itch is part of the nerves all reconnecting too.

Sorry to hear about your hardening seroma.. I hope that it all works out.. Let us know for sure.. I am only 2 weeks out from my PS.

 My doc told me that the itching is part of the healing process.
I also had lots of flakey skin after having TT and thigh lift and it's just a part of healing.

 So, I was full on ready for the itching.  Got Benadryl Gel (you should look into getting some), but I'm 5 weeks out and here's the thing... I'm not itchy, but my arms BURN, they are swollen in my forearms, even though my incision stops at my elbo.  The nerves are reconnecting with a vengeance and it's pretty rough.  Also, hate to say it, they are smaller than before, but the same shape as before surgery, and it was the shape I hated so much I was willing to have the surgery.

My only hope is that the swelling goes down and with some upper arm workouts I can affect the shape a little.

I'm bummed.
