Post Surgery Allergic Reaction

Had anyone else dealt with this? At almost exactly one week after surgery my whole leg broke out in an agonizing rash. I went to my surgeon and they gave me a topical cream that did nothing so I ended up going to urgent care and getting a shot, steroids, and the extra extra strength lotion. I'm still itchy, but it's bearable now.

​

Apparently this is pretty common, but I wish my surgeon had warned me. Other than this my recovery has been a dream! I have almost no pain and I've been walking since day 2.
