Itchy

Anyone feel quite itchy where the wound dressing is? is this normal? Am on day 4 after hip replacement operation.
Thanks.

Very normalIt will get better dont scratch

Very typical i’m afraid !

It is an indication that it is healing.

very itchy however, ive always taken as a good sign its healing.

MINE TOO. pretty normal i think and i was always told that itching meant healing which is great news. i think about all the layers of healing it needs to do.

I think itching is normal. It’s a sign on healing. I had it quite a lot in the early days and now, at 13 weeks, still get the odd little prickle. Good luck with your recovery.
