Suggest Treatment For Numbness And Pain In The Breast
I devolved shingles about 3 weeks ago on my waist line on middle of my back. I started with numbness and pain going to under my right breast and my stomach. I still have numbness on my back and some times goes down to my legs from knee down. In 2013 I had a work injury. I have herniated discs on L 5, L 7. My question is am I going to fell this numbness due to my injury or due to shingles? Thank you for your response.

Hello,
I have studied your case and I can assure you that this numbness is not due to shingles but due to herniated disc. It may be due to b 12 deficiency also which is common due to Diabetes. I would suggest you to get MRI of the spine to see if there is progression in your disease. If yes then you need to take Pregabalin M tablet one daily and vitamin B 12 injection for ten days.
