hey guys & girls.

i hope you are all well.

been a while since i posted.

has anyone ever had an itch within their affected arm that you just cant scratch? a it is actually in their arm?

its driving me crazy.. any remedies? heat pack?

i literally feel like sticking a knife in my arm to get @ the itch

from my experience this means one of your nerves is irritated
or regaining function, depending upon your situation.

yeah, I've got in near my ankle bone area that is mostly numb from harvesting the surral nerves from my calves (for nerve grafting at the brachial plexus). Nothing works, no solution. When it happens, it drives me nuts. Good luck!

From ITCHY, Ok this is what I do for this and I think it nerves that cause the itch? My itch is from a need for higher blood flow needs issue of limitations in winter my arm turns purple from the cold . Pick a partner that can put on a good skin conditioner on you and gentle rub it in deep include your hand and fingers to. It great for blood flow issue to nerves to, I think . Man , does it help with dry skin to and fells great to me, Do a gentle deep rub in, it help me over the years Will this help you .
I all ways wonder if there was such a thing as Nerve itch? I never had nerve transfers, I am in AW that they can even do Nerve transfers, Sure am happy that you have a treatment like that Treatment for a fact have change over time So really is it ever to late to get treatment?
