Hi, I'm still recovering from my surgery and so still injecting the 28 day anticoagulants (which I hate doing 
) and still wearing the surgical stocking. I don't mind the latter, in fact they keep my legs warm this weather BUT they are causing my legs to be really, really, REALLY itchy!! Did anyone else experience this and if so do you have any suggestions or tips on how to manage the itching? I'm applying my normal moisturiser 2 or 3 times a day which helps a little bit but still driving me mad.
Hello Tinkerbelle38
I have just noticed your post has gone unanswered I am Brian one of the Community Champions here at Macmillan on the Community. I can't answer your question myself as I have a different cancer however by me replying your post will be "bumped up" to the top of the forum and I hope seen and answered by other members of the Kidney cancer group.
i was on "Hormone Therapy" for 3 years and one side effect was itchy skin, so much so I had a prescription for moisturiser. I did find one that worked for me but it was an expensive trial and error.
I hope you resolve the issue.
Best wishes - Brian.
