What Causes Severe Pain And Tingling Sensation In The Legs?
I have shingles. I have completed the medication and I feel even worse now than when it started 3 weeks ago. The muscle pain in my legs that is accompanied with shooting pain and tingling. Runs through my toes all the way up into my lower back. It is excruciating to get up and down from a sitting position. Is this normal?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to shingles.
I suggest using painkillers such as Ibuprofen for the pain.
If the symptoms continue, you may need prescription painkillers such as Pregabalin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
