What Causes Pain And Itching On The Left Shoulder And Neck?
Hi, I have pain, tingling and itching on my left shoulder and neck. I feel crummy, sore muscles, many of the symptoms of shingles, but no rash, just a few itchy bumps. This has been going on for several weeks. Can one have shingles and not get the blistery rash?

Hi,
Your symptoms seem to be related to shingles. Not all people with shingles develop a blistering rash. The rash may develop in one to two weeks or not at all. I suggest you to use antiviral tablets and antiviral creams to relief the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
