Itching all over is a sign of liver problems.....did you have a liver blood test when you had your bloods checked? If not ask for a check......

I meant to say insist on a ct scan to check organs and the aorta . Aortic aneurysms cause severe pain also. Don’t want to scare you, just wasn’t sure if you were aware of that. It could also be other things but get the scans done soon to find out.
Hope you feel better soon and let us know how things went! ??????😁

I can't diagnose your problems and it could be a number of things, IBS for one, however you should take reassurance that blood tests have not found anything wrong. Sounds like you are having a lot of medication and sometimes these can cause itching as well as a side effect - or it could be unrelated. If you are anxious your senses will heighten feelings and make them seem worse than they are - I know because I've been through a similar thing, especially if you are googling.
