question: Had shingles last Nov 7 this year..but now that d blisters are gone I have different kinds of pain in my left hand..painful to touch , sometimes it seems like there is electric shock, & sometimes..there is a shooting pain..I have tried various over the counter creams like capcaisin, lidocaine spray,terrain n m taking 300mg of gabapentin.but it seems does not work..I will feel relief for 1 to 2 hours only...this has affected the quality of my life and cannot work..
