Do I have hives?

I am getting so frustrated! I am 10 days post-op, and I encounter something strange every day! For 2 days, I have itched but I thought it was from the allergic reaction I had to the steri-strips on my incision (open RNY 5/2--doctor knows about the steri-strip allergy). Today, I have red, welty BUMPS on the underside of my arms, and it's spread from the incision to my entire stomach-I itch all over. I'm on Paxil and Vioxx---no pain meds for 8 days. The ONLY thing I've changed is putting lemon in my water. Sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas?? Thanks!
