Howdy Doctor, After diagnosing the rash that I had as shingles, my small-town doctor told me to take 6 pills of Aleve per day. After one year of following these instructions, I had consumed over 2,000 pills. Some had gathered and burned a hole through my stomach. Fortunately, a great surgeon, patched me up and saved my life. I have given up Aleve and switched to Gabapentin pills, three times a day. The shingles rash has gone away, however, I still experience pain on the right half of my chest. I do not want to return to my first physician, however, I would like to reduce and eventually be free of the pain. What do you suggest ?
