    Its where all the tiny blood vessels squeeze for some reason (slowing the blood flow), I think sometimes it's hormonal, sometimes it's stress...I've heard of it when it affects breastfeeding but I think you can have it in other areas too. One of my friend's mothers had a similar thing, whenever she touched anything cold she got really irritated, itchy and sore...it's too long ago now so I can't remember what the treatment was.

    Itchy palms and soles was related to i think Kidney or liver (cant remember which) failure or something during pregnancy, which I think I was borderline for so it has me a bit worried lol. But my rational mind is telling me I'm being a hypercondriac Lol

    If it was your liver I reckon you'd get other signs...disrupted digestion, yellowing of skin and eyes, yellow poo. But it sounds like you've been worrying about it for a while so best to chat to dr, make sure they do a whole work up to eliminate anything you're worried about.

    Yea, your probably right, i only remembered about the organ failure thing a couple of days ago, mostly it's just painful and annoying.
