I started to itch mostly on palms, feet. Then some legs little on arms and wrist and head some back of neck and back not as much as hands and feet. I have been taking oxycodone for 2 years now everyday same dose for spine injury but I don't think that is it.I haven't had any reaction to the medication befor and it has been so long but it is 5mg-325mg every 4 hours and I take it 4 hours or maybe 5 but not through the night I sleep. But I have been feeling really stressed, kids fighting working fulltime money problems alot. can that make you itch without a rash? It seems the more I think about it the more I itch. I don't itch at night and it just started out of no where. I guess or am I making up excuses. Need answers please anyone

Might help....
I've had itchy feet for two years, mostly at night. There is no rash and I don't itch anywhere else, so I'm not sure if we have the same thing. The doctors don't seem to take it very seriously, since all my tests come out fine and it doesn't respond to steroid creams or anything like that.

The only thing that seems to help is stretching out my Achilles tendons really well before I go to bed, then put on a lot of Aveeno lotion (soothing and hypo-allergenic), then put socks on over it. One note--this lotion seems to bleach certain fabrics, but I'd rather have patchy sheets than itchy feet.

Also, it's really important not to scratch, because it makes the itch worse. It is possible you are allergic to something, if not a medication then something in your environment. You may have developed an allergy to a soap or lotion you have used for years. You might also want to ask your doctor about antihistamines. I've also heard that stress can make it worse (but who wouldn't be stressed when they can't stop itching?)

I hope this helps.
