Does Taking Gabapentin And Hydrocodone Together Cause Body Itching?

my husband has severe itching and has had for about 4 plus weeks. It started 2 weeks after having his knee replaced, he was taking gabapentin for nerve pain in his arm before and after the surgery. Wondering if there could be possible drug interaction with the pain rx hydrocodone to cause such a terrible itching/irritable, can t sleep, anxiety feeling. Or could it be a reaction to the knee replacement?
