Suggest Treatment For Shingles Pain
I contracted shingles over 2 months ago. The rash is now pretty much gone, and the pain is much better, but I am still having shooting type pain that seems to get worse as the day wears on and is especially aggravating at night. Is this normal? I am a 60 year old otherwise healthy femaile.
