Hi doctor, From what was being thought to be muscular inflammation of the back under the shoulder a week ago with constant pain since last week. I have lesions in my body, which look like shingles. I am attaching a photo of these lesions.
Hello. Your main complaint is pain under shoulder and you are suspecting herpes zoster (shingles). Herpes zoster begins with pain along the affected root of nerve followed by an appearance of the rash. The rash is painful and progresses over 7 to 10 days. The pain starts decreasing and the rash subsides. The characteristic feature is it involves only one nerve root. It is a self-limiting condition usually precipitated by stress, fever, and sometimes associated with diabetes. Pregabalin or Gabapentin is helpful in reducing pain. Regards.
