Could You Prescribe A Treatment For The Shingles Affecting The Sciatica Nerve?
Hello dr. I am presently living in the south of Mexico and came down with my first case of shingles. it has affected the sciatic nerve of my left leg and the pain is unbearable. I spent a week in the hospital in Chetumal, quintana Roo and I have to be honest I really don t put too much faith in their diagnoses. What would you prescribe for my ailment?
