Have them check your tryptase levels and do biopsy of your skin where rash is the worst. Allergist and Dermotologist would be best for all this. Check Mast Cell diseases. I have been going thru this constant for 3 years now ever since knee replacement. Turned out I was allergic to replacement and had revision but still having issues. Pain, itching and rash constantly getting worse. Turned out my tryptase is high and had biopsy and I have Mastocytosis. I see the doctor for that Wednesday to figure out which one. Prayers for answers and to feel better! I know what you are going thru!

I know knee replacement is in my future in a few years, but because of all my allergies I am concerned about a reaction like you are dealing with. Because of your post I now have more homework to study what is- typtase and mastocytosis or mast cell disease is. I feared an allergic reaction to the synthetic mesh put in 3 years ago to tie up bladder prolapse and was told it would be safe and it was. Great successful results! But putting foreign substances in my body is a gamble and would rather use a walker than deal with the misery of 24/7 itching and raised inflammation level pain which is inescapable. I know, I have been there. I will pray for you mrshonesty (love your blogging name), prayers helped me with a miracle cure for an autoimmune disease I got at age 50 disappeared totally 5 years ago- gone! Shouldn't have happened according to medical science.
