Rash or Welts after Neck Fusion Surgery

by JoAnn

Like Debra - March 7, 2008, I also had neck fusion surgery on December 7, 2009 and now I have itchy skin rash/welts afflicting my whole body, and recently it sometimes does affect my face. This was my 3rd fusion, this time posterior C3-4, C4-5, C5-6. I did not have any rash or welts with the other surgeries. The rash/welts began shortly after this surgery and at first they thought it could be medication related, but I have not been on any medication for 3 weeks now and it has not gone away.

I have never had allergies in my life. Also like Debra said, it was shortly after the neck surgery when both her problem and mine started. If anyone else has had a similar reaction, please let us know by posting to this list. Thanks .

 Back Surgery
by: Kathy

I had back surgery for 2 herniated lower lumbar discs in December 2009. Two weeks after the surgery, I started with a chronic itch that wouldn't stop. For one week the doctor put me on different meds and stopped all new meds since the surgery. The chronic itching has stopped but now my skin is embarrassingly red after any type of scratching.

I am able to draw pictures on my skin. I am hoping by using intense moisturizing cream that it will clear up. Summer is coming and I dread short sleeves.
