sukee
I have some oxycodone/tylenol to help with the pain.
5:50 am

There are some bigger blisters on my back today.
5:50 am
Scrabbler
The rash will dry up but the nerve pain is what gets people.
5:51 am
sukee
I've had the pain for almost a week, it came first. I thought I had pulled a muscle. The worst right now is on my stomach.
5:51 am
sukee
It feels like pins and needles

Often the nerve pain precedes the rash.

sukee there is a topical ointment you can get here.. most often used with diabetes patients... it $ ..comes in a tiny bottle you need to put it on with gloves..but works to ease the pain
5:53 am
carleekat
ask the pharmasist for it
5:54 am
carleekat
the bottle is about the size of an aromatherapy bottle and is about 30.00 abottle... but you need only a bit ...
5:56 am
