I have nerve pain and am on 1600 mg per day of gabapentin which for the most part helps quite a bit. I do have problems wearing clothes. Nerve pain started in lower abdomen moved around to waist, legs, and arms. I quit wearing pants due to pain and switched to dresses. Now I feel pain in legs from swishing of material in dresses. I am afraid of becoming housebound if I can't wear clothes.

This pain started last year and has gotten worse. I did have shingles in 2003 and again in 2010. Both cases were mild. Doctors have asked about shingles. Has anyone ever heard of PHN years later?
