Avatar n tn 77 year old female w/previous undiagnosed arm and hand pain (many years and worsening over time). About 4 days ago, I began having sharp radiating pain in the L. shoulder blade area. A couple days later, it switched to my R. shoulder and worsened to the point that I was unable to move when I woke up this a.m. It took over an hour to get out of bed. (I began by slowly and Very painfully moving fingers, arms, etc.) I am presently sitting up and using heating heating pad.
Avatar f tn Hi Nervepainj. :) First, I'd like to add my Welcome with Tuck's and Mary camel's to our PM (Pain Management) Forum here on the MH (MedHelp) Community. As Tuck said, marycamel was, as always, correct on with some of the meds that might be able to help you with your neuropathy. Tuck definitely can tell you about all of the different neuropathy medications out there as she, like many others on MH, has been battling problems with neuropathy for numerous years.

Avatar m tn This is just my opinion, I don't judge. I took Suboxone to get off hydrocodone. I believe both of these meds dont help depression. After getting off sub, I went back to pain meds, very ignorant of me because I felt better without these drugs. I have insomnia really bad and I take Xanax, not good for depression either. I take Percocet, for pain from shingles, 2 years I've had it. I want to wish you the best. You can beat this, I'm gonna beat it.
335728 tn?1331414412 Hey Rena - It sounds to me like shingles. Do not be fooled, you DO NOT have to have the actual rash to have shingles. Hallmarks of shingles are severe pain and the area to remain on one side (if you said it hurt on BOTH shoulders, it would not be shingles - the virus never crosses the midline). Picture your innerbody as a tree with branches outstretching. These brances are nerve endings. When shingles occurs, it affects say, one tree limb, and all the branches off of that limb.
Avatar m tn Nearly fainted while I was at the gym which then turned into constant lightheadedness for now its 5th month. I had a shingles approximately a week after the episode. Our cases seem similar so I was hoping you had some input and suggestions to help. Did the B1 supplements help at all too? Cheers.
922972 tn?1243985128 I have been bouncing between Percocet and Vicodin for years. My doctor wants me to wean off of the Vicodin, but there is no backup plan (I am taking Gabapentin, but it doesn't cut through the pain). We're stuck. And I’m scared. She recommended that I reach out to other resources. Could I have had shingles with a rash, no lesions, that lasted 5 years and pain for 8 years? Is there a way to determine if that is the case? I'm absolutely at the end of my rope.
Avatar n tn Hello, I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be contact dermatitis or shingles. Shingles occurs in people who have had chickenpox and represents a reactivation of the dormant varicella-zoster virus. The first sign is usually a tingling feeling, itchiness, or stabbing pain on the skin. After a few days, a rash appears as a band or patch of raised dots on the side of the trunk or face.
Avatar f tn Hi doctor I've had shingles for about 13 years now & I'm only 18. For years I've been wanting to get rid of the ugly scars that are on my forehead but every doctor was like a dead end. I really want to pursue removing the scars! What should I do?
Avatar f tn I still have symtons and get shingles about 5 times a year, after many appiontments and prescriptions for aviculor for shingles and complaining about my symptons, and blood tests for everything in the book later, the doctor said last week it sounds like cfs but wanted 2 check my thyroid levels yet AGAIN 1st and rushed me out the door. How can I be taken seriously what should I do next?
Avatar n tn Four days later the doctor found out that it was not folliculitis buy shingles. He gave me antiviral for shingles. After taking all these antibiotics and antiviral I started having diarrhea. I passed stool three times a day with some cramp. Also I got that itching on the groin area back. I am under a lot of stress beginning from august. I wanted to check with you to see if I could have contracted any infection including HIV and STD. Should I go for any tests and if so what kind of test?
Avatar f tn I have buzzing in my ear this has been going on for along time I know they said I need a earing aid but to expensive the insurance will not covered but what I am most worried about is the really bad pressure in my head like somebody hitting on my head with a hammer I feel that I am going to faint I have already gone to the doctors and the ers they did mri and scat scan blood work nothing came up everything look
Avatar n tn I have received the explanation of atypical shingles, but I am not satisfied. I have also been tested for lyme disease 4 times and all have come back negative. A CBC showed no abnormalities, but I remain concerned. I worry that this is along my nerve tract and if I do not address it I could end up with damage. I have not experienced pain, but occasional itching, and generally no real difference in feeling.
Avatar n tn Hence i wonder if this could be shingles. I havent felt any else shingles symptom except minor tingling the whole 4 weeks. What could it be? Stress related? I tested hiv negative at 32 and 52 days.
Avatar f tn Yeah thats quite a bit of Percocet...sorry I misunderstood. Well hopefully you can figure out a good tapering schedule that fits your needs. And like I wrote above...if you have someone to help and distribute your meds according to the schedule...it does help a lot.

Avatar n tn Percocet is a strong, habit forming, opiate medication. It is prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. It should never be used in any other way, for any other reason, unless there was some unusual circumstance that your doctor dictated the usage of Percocet for some other purpose. The BEST thing to do, always, if you're having an issue, or problems with your medications, is to discuss the options with your doctor.
Avatar n tn Hi and welcome to MedHelp. I also take percocet along with neurontin (gabapentin). The gabapentin is very similar to lyrica. I drink coffee 4-5 days per week and I haven't encountered any issues and I have been on percocet for almost a year and gabapentin for almost 2 years. I don't think there are any severe reactions when coffee is mixed with percocet or lyrica or both.
Avatar m tn Went to my Doctor, he said it looked like Shingles. He took a blood draw, again, for type 1 AND 2 Herpes. This time, we ran for both IGM, and IGG antibodies. Test comes back today, and I passed the IGG with flying colors, but got a positive on my IGM. I've been monogamous with my girl for 3 years, and so has she. My question is this... Can an IGM show a positive from Shingles? Is that what happened to me?
Avatar m tn I am not a doctor by any means but search this site for shingles and you will get some insight. I was thinking Lyrica or something like that. Maybe I am totally off base. Medhelp search is your friend as well as Google itself.
Avatar n tn The shingle just like pop up for no reason. I heard the majority who has shingles are age over 50 or someone who has problem on the immune system. That's why I am concern.
Avatar m tn m on a program. If he does, will Percocet even work? What would be a good dosage for me? Can anyone help me here? I truly appreciate your time. Thanks a bunch!
Avatar f tn We tested for herpes, blood and swab, and syphillis rpr. all came back negative. I had shingles once when i was 13. a few months ago i got the rhogam shot. would this shot make my body unable to create the antibodies needed for testing?
