If doctor's think you have an unusual presentation of shingles, you should then get an antiviral drug to block them. Valtrex is the usually prescribed one. You can only have shingles if you had chicken pox in the past. Waiting to give it can diminish Valtrex's
efficacy.
That kind of pain can also come from a kidney infection.
