Itching muscles anyone???

Marlee, for sore muscles, have you tried a sock with tennis balls in it? You can lean against it and it massages your back or whatever.

Can't say I have ever experienced itchy muscles. Glad you are getting some relief!

I'm not on pain meds so I guess my itchy muscles are strange. I said my itchy muscles are strange Sherrine, not me.

 

I do have a tennis ball in a sock somewhere around here. That sounds like it would feel good.

 

I've tried doing stretches but that doesn't seem to be what they need.

 

DH rubbed my back for awhile last night when we went to bed and that felt great.

 

luv and hugs

I have a back scratcher here at my computer, one on my nightstand by the bed, one on top of my refrigerator, and one in my purse!  I found a telescoping back scratcher for my purse and love it.  So, you are not alone.  That means that your itchy muscles are normal for fibro and it is YOU that is strange!

My back itches so bad sometimes. I can't even think straight. It's horrible. It comes close to being pain or
maybe it is pain. The tennis ball thing sounds good. I've tried astrigents on the itch. Alcohol, Witch Hazel, Benadryl,
knives (light scraping over the top) I can't think of anymore off the end of my fingers. Nothing works. I think
maybe I have nerve pain but I never know what is what.

I also get itchy muscles especially if I go for long periods of time without working out. Its hard to ignore and it started when I stopped going to the gym. It used to be in my upper shoulders and I fixed it easily by doing a few push-ups, but now its in my arm near the wrist, it sucks. The only way for me to "itch the muscle" is to work it out. My situation might be different from yours, but I can't find any other cite discussing anything like itchy muscles. Maybe I just need a massage.
