I woke up this morning and my lower right leg felt like it was on fire. I looked down and a rash had formed directly around the area where the compression sleeves had been placed on my legs to prevent blood clots during my stay in the hospital. I wondered if I was having an allergic reaction to some of the meds that had been given to me in the hospital or if it was just contact dermatitis from the sleeves. My surgeon had prescribed vicodin to help with any post surgical pain, but I was afraid that I might be causing the allergic reaction and so I stopped all pain meds immediately.
