Suffered With Lot Of Depression And Anxiety. Orthoscopic Surgery On Right Leg. Needs Knee Replacement And Taking Naproxen Or Ultra For Pain. Itching In Right Thigh. Is There A Need To Be Concerned?

hi,
in the past 2 yrs, I have suffered a lot of depression and anxiety and recently I started taking clonzepam. A blood report a yr ago indicted that my vitamin d is low and I take 10,000 mg of vitamin d daily.

Plus, 4 months ago, I had orthoscopic surgery on my right leg. The Dr says I will need a knee replacement soon and I take naproxen or ultram for the pain..
Because of these 2 factors, I've spent much time laying around, staying in bed and sleeping. I've gained about 30 lbs.
About a month ago, I have noticed a burning sensation in my right thigh; and sometimes it itches too. I can't get much relief from the burning, itching and sometimes pain.
Any idea what can cause this?....and is it serious and something I need to be concerned about?

Thanks,
Bet

first of all..GET OF BED...as it will aggravate ur health problems.
start walking for 5 to 1o min 2/3 times /day.gradually increase walking/exercises.
ur burning may b due to defi of vit B1 or B12. GET BLOOD reports done,and medicines accordingly.
for itching their may b local cause like skin infection..take care...as obesity definately favours skin infection.
