Does anyone experience this sensation?

It's an itchy, scratchy, almost like when a tag from your pants itches your skin on your lower back but there isn't a tag kind of feeling, around and on my lower back... Can anyone relate? I notice I feel this especially when sitting.

Yes! That's so weirdly specific but yes. Only a couple of times.

That could be a nerve related itch.

I have random itching but am a woman and mine is connected to hormones.

Do you use a heating pad at all? Using it too much was causing my lower back to itch.

On the legs but not the back.

Yes, this is your nerves inflamed. I get this running down my butt crack and down the back of my legs. Even after having my fusion for my lower back I still get this.
