Brachioradial pruritus. (severe itching on forearms and neck, no rash).

I struggled with this a couple years ago (R upper arm, def exacerbated by sun) and chiropractic manipulation (I saw an Atlas Orthogonal who used and activator, no manual manipulation) worked in very few sessions. My chiropractor had not heard of it but I printed the one study I could find and did his thing. It stayed gone for well over a year but it seems to have just returned. I was pleased, upon googling, to find many, many more articles/case studies on successful treatment with chiropractic and recommend to everyone to try this very conservative treatment.

Thank you. It certainly seems obscure to most doctors….anyway, thank you for your thoughts and experience. I would love it if you could send me a couple of links to studies that most illuminated you about it. I mean, post links here and I will get them.
It does seem to be connected to the spine in the neck although apparently people do not feel pain in the neck. But the vertebrae compress with time, likely a factor for me, as I will be 80 soon and have osteoporosis although have managed it with stretches, PT, manual work (especially cranial sacral), careful diet and exercise. But these things do catch up with us over time so it sometimes seems like a full-time job staying alive (and well as can be). Cheers!
