question: Hello doctor, I had a total hip replacement a few days back. Yesterday, I started developing a rash on my torso, back, buttocks, and legs. The palms of my hands and soles of my feet are red and painful. I had an epidural and sedation for my hip surgery. I had two rounds of IV antibiotics after surgery. I do not know what kind. For pain, I have been given Oxycodone, Tylenol, and Toradol (SP?) for inflammation. I have also been given Colace, Pepcid, Ranitidine, Aspirin, and Celebrex. The doctors here at the hospital are stumped as to what is going on with this rash. It is not terribly itchy, mainly when I get a bit overheated. I have had this happen to me before, 15 years ago, after undergoing a D and C. It did resolve in about four weeks, but the skin on my palms and soles blistered and peeled before it all went away. If you have any idea what this could be and what I could do to lessen the effects, I would greatly appreciate it.
