itching
I was diagnosed with prostatitis 7 months ago. In the past 3 months or so, as my pain became mainly nerve pain i.e. shooting/piercing in the testicles and perineum, I also noticed a strange development. I started to develop intense itch in the testicles, inside of the leg, and now even hands and feet. This itching coincides with the rise in nerve pain and it does not feel like a skin itch, rather it feels deeper. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone have any guesses? Thanks.

I notice that when I start to impove a couple of days after a physiotherapy session, I get itchy in the area of skin which lies above the area of muscle treated. It goes away as soon as I have scratched it, and is usually a good indicator of improvement.
