    This started this evening. It's a feeling of something crawling around one of my arms. If I scratch it, (which I try not to )it goes away. Well I suppose it will go away even if I don't scratch. Now a few months ago, i cut a finger on the same side. I had to get stitches There was some nerve damage. I wonder if it could be related to that?, and when do yiou think it would be advisable to make a doctor's appointment?

    Since this evening, you say? Definitely long term so. I suspect this may be a symptom of Overthinking Syndrome.

    That's called formication, believe it or not. (Shut up sniggering, ye blackguards at the back.) It can be a symptom of a wide variety of conditions. It could be nerve damage, but it could also be lots of other things. If it doesn't clear up on its own I'd go to the GP.
