The Itch

Most of you have heard about how I broke my collar
bone back in 2007. When they repaired it and put my
titanium plate in they severed some nerves around my
shoulder. Hence it feels slightly numb at all times.
Like when you have novocain at the dentist. I can
feel the pressure there but there is little to no
sensation.
Often times I get an itch on that shoulder.
Unfortunately while I feel the itch, I cannot scratch
it. Or at least don't feel myself scratching it. So
the itch never goes away. Many a night it has kept me
up and prevented me from sleeping. Scary thing is
that it'll never go away. The numbness that is. I
wonder if its like phantom limb syndrome is?
