hi,
I'm new to this site. I found it while looking for info on how to lessen pain after shingles. My husband got shingles on April 14th. The pain is terrible and he had very large rashes in both the front and back of the left side of his body. Todate, the rash has almost completely healed but the pain has not gone away. The doctor started him on Lyrica, 50mg/three times a day and after four days, he has had no relief whatsoever. I'd appreciate any help anybody can give me. He works as a construction worker so he goes up and down ladders, handles power tools, etc. every day. He has taken all the sick days he can without losing his job.
