The “unreachable itch,” is a sign of stenosis.
I itched my left shoulder blade for 18 months then my neck started killing me and it went down my right arm.
I lost both arms until I got a prednisone pack. I ended up getting a posterior decompression and fusion from C6-T2, February 1, 2023.
I’m better now but I needed the surgery sooner than I got in for optimal outcome.
Mt primary care doctor blew off the itching, the headache in the back of my head and an mri saying cervical myelomalacia.
I went over his head to UCONN/John Dempsey hospital to Dr. Oniyuke.
“You needed surgery really bad,” were his exact words.
Don’t ignore the itch.
UCONN listened and they looked it up. They listen unlike my sub standard primary flunky.
Good luck and be wary of your neck.

Thank you so much for this comment. Yes my primary care doctor is an absolute worthless excuse for a physician. I do feel like I need to go to someone who actually will do something…
