Frown Itchy Forearm

I have seen other posts on this website regarding my problem with brachial radial pruitis, but nobody seems to know how to cure it. It is an itching and rash on the forearm, but I also have pain in the muscles. I have been to about 10 doctors in every field including two dermatologists, a neurosurgeon, a neurologist, a orthopedic doctor, a chiropractor and an accupuncturist. I finally got to the point where a couple of doctors agree on the diagnosis. I have been diagnosed with Shingles, tennis elbow, fungus, bacterial infection, and not until I asked for a biopsy, did it rule out any fungus and bacterial infection. It was finally agreed on that I had brachial radial pruitis. The first dermatologist was familiar with the condition and sent me to an orthopedic doctor who suggested an Epidural. I thought this would only take care of the pain temporarily, and I wanted a second opinion. I was then treated for Shingles by a neurosurgeon another doctor sent me to, but none of the medications that other doctors have helped. I'm thinking of going back to a chiropractor. Does anyone have any answers to this problem. Does pain in the muscle come with this problem, as it could be a separate problem from the rash and intense itch that keeps me awak at night. Ice packs help temporarily, but not medications help.
