What Causes Muscle Cramps While Suffering From Shingles?

Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with shingles. My family Prac. doubted the diagnosis because I didn t have the blisters. She took some blood tests. The CRP came back at 60 and she took the RF which came back at 18. since, my rash is gone but I have muscle cramping all over. My hands and feet as well as back and legs seem to want to camp at the slightest tension. What s going on?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having reactive arthritis and vitamin deficiency as a result of your recently suffered from a disease. I treat my such patients coming to my clinic by giving them injection triamcilone. Analgesic such as ibuprofen can be used for pain relief. Vitamin B and C help in recovery. EvionLC and Mecobalamine covers vitamin deficiencies. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health. Take care.
