Anyone suffer with neurological itching? (long)

[KnottedYet]

As I was reading, I was thinking "it's her neck." And then you mentioned all the other nerve compression symptoms you have and the doc who mentioned cervical spine levels and symptoms.

Generally the culprit in nerve compression is the disc between the vertebrae getting smooshed out of shape from bad posture or repeated trauma. The outer wall of the disc that usually has enough elastic oomph to pull the disc back into its nice shape gets overstretched, and pretty soon instead of a nice round disc you've got a blobby-sloppy disc.

You can move the vertebrae to either side of the blobby disc and kind of shove the disc back into shape yourself. You can have a chiro do it (but be extremely careful in your choice of chiro), you can have a D.O. do it. But if you learn how to do it yourself, you can really control the thing. (Until the elastic rebuilds, it will keep squishing into its blobby shape every so often. Would you rather fix it yourself right then, or would you rather make an appointment to have someone else do it a day or two later? Both will work, it's just a matter of preference.)

I have neurogenic itching along a rib, and went to my dermatologist nearly in tears because I couldn't see anything there but I was itching like mad. Now I can fix it when it happens (it stops immediately) and use it to remind myself of good posture. It has not gone away completely, but now I only get it for a few minutes maybe every couple months. I can live with that.
