I have suffered from nerve pain since 2010. I had MRI done in 2013 and was referred to neurosurgeon. He says no to anything in spine causing problems.

I am in care of doctor and am on pain meds.

This neurological MD asked about shingles. I did have shingles once in 2003 and again in 2011. Could this be PHN after such a length of time? It just seems strange. Most of my nerve pain is in abdomen and legs. It hurts to sit and rough materials hurt.

Both cases of shingles were very mild.
