Brief Answer:
shingles

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Shigles are extremely painful because it affects the nerves. Here is what you should do

1. apply calamine lotion over the area for a soothing affect
2. I prescribe pregabalin 75 mg twice day for the pain and it works well on my patients
3. if the pain still doesn't subside then I suggest tramadol twice a day
4. the pain usually takes about 4 weeks to subside

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
