Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 62 year old female who had her first out break of herpes nearly 40 years ago. I am having my first outbreak in four years. Two months ago I got the shingles shot. I have been taking for the last 5 days acyclovir for genital heroes; I am experiencing pain in my left hip. Is this related possibly to herpes or shingles!!
Shingles can cause pain in the left hip. I recommend continuing taking antiviral medications such as Acyclovir. You can use painkillers such as Ibuprofen for the pain.
