Default Shingles

I haven't posted here in a while... I have been going to PT which has been ver helpful. I did have a set back a few weeks ago which increased all my pain symptoms.

But I wanted to find out if any one else that has RSD/CPRS has gotten shingles.
I got it in my left arm. I went to an urgent care because I couldn't get an appointment with my gp. I told the nurse that I thought I had the shingles but the dr said I had a contact rash. (I'm not sure if I told him my arm hurt and I was taking more aim meds for the pain.) That was on a Friday, the following Monday I went to my gp he took one look and said I had shingles. I just finished my week of antiviral Meds, my arm still hurts though, the rash is getting better. Even before my arm started hurting I had a severe headache one day. My husband said "you haven't had a headache like that in a long time, what's going on?" Like I knew!!
