I have inflamitory Rheumatoid Arthritis...and it is in my spine. Does anyone get unconrollable itching in the arms and it drives me crazy.
..Is there anyone else that that happens to and what do they do. I scratch so much I make my arms bleed.
Help.....

Epsom Salt soothing baths...coolness helps too. Lots of nice lotions out there, definitely agree that Aloe Vera works, BUT with that said once I start itching and scratching it's hard to stop....I cool things with ice packs wrapped in towels. Good luck!

I rub on a little natural aloe vera gel when I get those itchy bouts. Usually calms it nicely.

Yes I do get extreme itching on my arms and I also have significant chronic back pain. The dermatologist said it could be from nerves because of the inflammation.
