you need to see your medical provider again. you may have post-herpetic neuralgia -- a painful condition after having shingles. there are treatments for this but they are prescriptions.
i have a stabbing intense pain on my right side 4 wks after haveing shingles. it feels like my insides are being pulled. my skin surface is numb but it feels is if someone is pulling my insides out on my right side. the pain is intense and although i am on pain meds. it is still a horrible pulling ache. any suggestions?
