Suggest Treatment For Nerve Pain In The Left Shoulder
I had the shingles in only a spot on my chest. It is gone but nerve pain in left shoulder and down left arm are still there.. It will be 5 weeks this Sat. Am taking 1800 m of Gabapentin and Hydroconone every 6 hr. The Gabapentin is is 600 tabs 3 times a day. Is there anything else I could take to calm down the nerve pain? I am 79 years old.
