I have had this problem for 2 years, I brought it up to my dermatologist and as soon as she looked at my arm she said you need to go have an x-ray you have pinched nerves and I didn’t think anything of it because I didn’t have any neck pain so I let it go for about a year it was on and off and then it got worse the last six months I had x-ray and MRI done I have pinched nerves from C5 to C7 and two disc bulges I went to a top neurosurgeon and the only recommendation he had was acupuncture 🤦♀️ I’m willing to give it a try, I also am looking into prolotherapy, I’ve heard some people have had their Branchioradial nerve itching relieved, ice packs are my only form of relief but it’s affecting my life with sleep disruption and my arm from Scratching an itch you can’t get to looks terrible! I will try what you mentioned, I appreciate your feedback, thank you

Good afternoon......great to hear from you today. Thanks for explaining what you have been facing for a couple of years. I hope acupuncture has positive effects for you. Prolotherapy is a new treatment program for me and I understand that it is still considered to be investigational or experimental. You know.....ice always seems to work. I sure do rely on it.
I am thinking that perhaps @jenniferhunter would be able to help with your spine issues. My own experience with the neck pain was that what I thought was left over pain from a shoulder replacement was actually similar to what you are describing. So, I was "rushed" to surgery and spent the next three months in a neck brace. I can still hear and feel some cracking and clicking in my neck but my arms are not numb and painful.
Let's see what Jennifer has to say. She has extremely experienced herself.
Looking forward to hearing more about your treatments and how you are responding.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
