I would deffinately call the dr. Knots can be in the myofascial areas but i dont think that would cause itching. You could be getting sensitive to one of your meds. do they look like welps?

I would call the Doc!

Yes you should see the Dr. hugs

Hmm..I got knots under my Skin, but they are Not itchy, and the ones that are Painful I just apply pressure to, and it seems to release them..they are NOT painful unless I press them..

Go in, discuss this with ur Doc. not sure what the heck is causing that !!

The knots are most likely myofascial trigger points. Massage them and see if your pain doesn't improve.

I've noticed that when I have a trigger point that itches, it means it's ready to break up so I massage it as much as I can stand.

If you don't know much about the relationship between myofascial pain and trigger points, triggerpointbook.com has some good diagrams and explanations.

Get to the doctor would be my advise. Fibro can give you the knots, but they wouldn't be itchy. Sounds like it could be something like shingles....medications will help.

Keep us posted.

Blessings,
Jan

Go to the doc. Itchiness does not normally accompany knots, in my experience. Better safe than sorry.

I called my dr,he said that it was peobably the muscle relaxer and he would call me in something else.I hate that because this one was helping alot.He also said that it could be my nerves breaking out on me and it was just a coininsedence[sp?]that I have the knots at the same time so he is also going to put me on a mild nerve pill.We will see in a couple of days if this is it.I already feel like a walking pharmacy how much more meds am I going to end up on? I'm on 8 now!!

YES I GET THESE BUT YOU STILL NEED TO SEE A DOC TO MAKR SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE A PERISITE!
I DID GET MINECHECKED OUT & IT MY MYFASCLE TRIGGER POINTS =i PUT ALCOHOL ON MINE & NEVER ITCH W/ NAILS 7 USE A SODT ALMOST BABY BRUSH SPRAY W/ ALCOHOL & ITCH ITS SO GREAT! OR I WOULD ITCH & MAKE HUGE DEEP SORES & THEY DON'T STOP BLEEDING & TAKE LONG TIME TO HEAL! THERE LIKE THE TRIGGER IS A ELETRIC SURG & OVER LOADED!
STILL MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE A SKIN PROBLEM FIRST =BUT STILL USE ALCOHOL IY WOULD HELP KILL ANY SKIN MITES! SEE DOC!

PS WHEN I USE FENTYAL PATCHES I BREAK VERY BAD LIKE THIS TOO! SO COULD BE MEDS TOO!

It sounds like you walked too close to an alien spacecraft.

Just kidding. If you don't already, try some gentle stretching, whatever you can do. Breathe and relax into the stretch.

You might also try massaging or even squeezing your shoulder muscles and massaging your scalp.

My Great Aunt Amelia, whom everyone thought was crazy because she was always dying but doctors said nothing was wrong... (sound familiar?), used to go on about her "stress bumps" as she massaged her chickweed ointment onto her arms.

She made her own but you might have some luck at a health food store finding something that may provide relief for you.
