I am a Ulnar neuropathy patient aged 55 male & I am having problem with both legs. But the woorysome is itching on both legs particuarly during nights which disturbs my sleep. Not only that since i am a CSVD & Brain atrophy patient i don't know anything about neuropathic itching. As Im taking Asprin when itching irritates I use my finger to scrtch and blood often comes. Whats the remedy? Anyone explain

Hi @venki -- have you talked with your doctor or neurologist about the itching on both legs and problems sleeping? Maybe there is something else going on? I have no medical background or training but if it's in the legs it wouldn't be due to ulnar neuropathy as the ulnar nerve is located in the arms and shoulder.

I did find some interesting information about Neuropathic Itch here:

Dear , Neuropathy can be helped by Physical training , Meditation and Diet control.Suggest your applying Aloe Vera Gel or equivalent to reduce itching.I wonder whether Aspirin helps to reduce itching !
