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

I didn’t have itching, but burning on my arms & legs. The MRI also showed a very small compression.. I’m taking Cymbalta (dulloxetine) & did physical therapy for awhile. This really helped. I was tested for allergies to lotions etc. & found that I’m extremely allergic to nickel. I’m trying the low nickel diet. I bought some lotion from Skintifique that is free of all kinds of things & so far so good. I no longer do the exercises, so maybe it’s just an allergic reaction. We ate oatmeal every morning & nuts & beans in our diet , plus whole wheat & whole grains which all have nickel in them! Hopefully this will be helpful to you!

HI Thanks for the info. My wife uses no cosmetics, shampoo from health store, soaps that are pure. No chemical cleaners- and had a list of products to avoid that had to be at least 300 items.

Thank you for your reply.
One doctor I saw thought my condition might be thoracic outlet syndrome, which usually has pain but not itching. I had Botox shots on both sides of my body, which is a treatment for this condition.
It helped somewhat on my right arm, not on my left.
I am now seeing an allergy doctor who prescribed Zyrtec twice a day and a triamcinalone ointment (a steroid).
I also put Vanicare cream on twice a day and use Dove sensitive skin soap to wash with - no scented body wash.
I will also see a dermatologist for patch testing.
