Thank u so much for your response. Yes it feels like nerve pain that just keeps jabbing me like it did with the shingles. My doctor has diagnosed me with the Postherpetic neuralgia as a result of my shingles and mild neuropathy with my diabetes. I am running into trouble with my case as my LTD carrier has required me to file for SSDI due to my conditions. I am just now starting the 2nd appeal and from the conclusion of my redetermination appeal they think I am not disabled and I am able to sit and/or stand without any problems. This conclusion came to them after a 5 minute exam that was useless in my opinion as it didn't even begin to address my back issues. Never once was I emamined or even asked about my continued nerve pain from the shingles on any part of my body including my back. My question now come from the results of the MRI'S. Do they indicate anything at all that explains my extreme pain in my back and neck. TIA.
