Can anyone relate to this? After going out for a bike ride today my son asked me about that feeling you get in your muscles after exercising like they are itching. He  doesn't mean superficial itching of the skin, or flushing or heat rash, he says it is deeper, in the muscle belly. Can't say I have ever felt anything like that, has anyone else? It was another one ofthose 'you know when...' questions he asks quite often, thinking it is something normal that happens to  everyone, and he is only just understanding that other people don't have to live with what he thinks is normal. Any clues on this  one would be appreciated.

Could also be magnesium deficiency.  An epsom salts bath can help if that's the problem.

ruth:
just one thing about what joan said. My SM is completely itchy, burning
skin. With me the epsom salt baths dried out my skin & made things worst instead of better. With my skin the moister I keep it the better
& usually moistuize it every day. Doesn't stop the itching but could keep itching down.
