I've seen 3 different GP's that tells me that it's impossible for the painkillers to cause itching, the last one agreed to prescribe another kind of painkiller, but it doesn't kill the pain.
I've been taking painkillers for over 15 years now and I have never had a problem like this before. It all started when I had surgery about 18 months ago. The itching drives me crazy and I've been to the ER a couple of times because of it. They said that it is some sort of allergy, but couldn't say against what.
I know it's the painkillers since it only itches when I take them.
My problem is that the other kind of painkillers that the GP gave me isn't doing anything for the pain. I need to stop the pain and I take the painkillers that itch.
Has anyone heard of anything like this?
Do you know what causes the itching?
Is it dangerous for me to take the painkillers that makes me itch?
Any suggestions about how to stop the itching?
