Itchy transverse process with slight pain may not be a scab. The reason is that the human body will be a little itchy when the scab grows after an injury, but the scab does not itch, and the healing process of a fracture is slow, so the human body can’t feel the scab in general. The itchy transverse process is most likely caused by the repair of the surrounding tissues after a fracture. The transverse process is the protruding part of the vertebrae that connects the vertebrae, and when the transverse process is fractured, the surrounding muscle tissues and nerves in the skin will suffer some damage. During the recovery process, itchy skin is felt due to the sensitivity of the skin, which is caused by the healing of the surrounding muscle tissues and is not felt by the long bone scab. Therefore, you do not need to worry too much about the itchiness of the transverse process, and you should follow the treatment plan given by your doctor. During the healing process, it is recommended that you take some calcium supplements and avoid large movements that may cause the healed bone to re-crack.
