Are you sure it's not a tingling feeling? They can feel the same when you are in agony with back pain! Go to the Docs or see an Osteopath the doc will obviously give you a medical diagnosis but the osteopath will most likely stop the pain and show you how to stop it coming back in the future. Would also definitely definitely recommend acupuncture I went to see 1 unable to barely walk in the room I left there pain free and able to walk/move around completely fine it�s the weirdest thing ever!

Yes I have suffered bouts of back pain over the years, both minor and major.
Sometimes it goes along with itchiness on the abdomen or leg. Bear in mind a lot of back pain is referred, meaning you feel it somewhere else from where the cause is. Whatever is happening to your nerves may be sending messages to the brain that it interprets as a feeling of itchiness.

this is an itchy feeling on my back , very strange . i have had had a dodgy back for a while now , seems to of starte3d when i didi about 2o lenghths when swimming back in october time , one part gets better then another part goes . am having reflexology at the moment and physio (who she also does a bit of accupuncture). i had a big operation 2 and half years ago and have a big scar on my back , i wondered if i strained it . doctor said yes that could be and maybe over done it .

The Doctor doesn't know as usual, so is saying what he thinks you want to hear.
It took me quite a while to put two and two together and realise that the strange itch that didn't respond to scratching happened when I was beginning to get some back pain.
