Have Pain In Ribs, Down The Legs, Headache, Rash On Shoulder And Leg. Right Medication?

Since August 12, 2013 I have had very bad pain in my back (ribs) my front ribs, and down the back of both legs, and a constant headache in the top of my head. I have also had a rash that was on my right shoulder (look like chicken pox) and on big one on my right leg. They would fill with clear fluid , break and fill again. 3 weeks later, I had another breakout on my chest, them 2 weeks later, a cluster on my left leg. So much pain, I have stopped all daily normal activity. Having a shower and fixing my bed is all I can do....it hurts so bad to try doing anything

Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

The rash is unlikely to be chicken pox, as lesion of.chicken pox do not last so long. The lesion described by you are painful vesicles, and.if they are.present on one side.of body in one dermatome it's likely that it could be shingles. Diagnosis is based on good clinical examination. Suggest you to either consult a dermatologist or send us the clinical photograph so that specialist present in Healthcare-Magic provide you with their expert opinion.

Take care
