the duration progression and distribution of the symptoms makes me think of zoster as a possibility. the painful rash of zoster usually starts after localized symptoms of pain tingling or itching. typically this is seen on one side of the body. a painful rash follows and it resolves within a 2-4 week period if no complications occur. its probably best to see your healthcare provider to get checked and appropriately diagnosed. treatments for zoster can shorten the duration and severity of the illness but treatments needs to be started as soon as the rash appears. nerve damage or neorapthy but sounds like nerve damage for sure have u been n any accidents or anything at home or work it sound like kidney damage.
