Hi I m a 24 year old girl. When I was 16 I had shingles. I can t really remember much other than it was an extremely painful thing that happened only on one side of my body and also I did NOT have a visible rash. I swear I have shingles. I went in to the ER and they sent me home saying it was muscular ... she also said she has a hard time believing I ever had shingles because she never heard of shingles without a rash. The pain I m experiencing is excruciating. It s hard to breathe. It s on the left half of my body. In the front of my shoulder, my chest, and in my rib cage. I ve been feeling a jolting sensation in my rib when i take too deep of a breathe or if i move basically at all. It gets better than worse. It s been on and off since last night. I ve taken Tylenol and Ibuprofen and nothing is even dulling the pain a little bit! Please help me!!
