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.
on july 1st i noticed a few red spots on my right chest and within an hour i was at my doctors. I say a pa and can t remember the pills she ordered. within a few hours about a dozen spots showed up only on my back. they blistered, and within several weeks, dried up and that was the end of the spots. NO other blistered showed up, BUT the pain has continued. It s 6 months and the pain is in my right arm pit and the area around it. my pain dr has given my Lyrica, gabapentin 2 treatments and injecting my spinal (L1 and L2) column to no avail. He wants me to have a procedure done with a spinal cord simulator. At this point i have reduced my gabapentin to 2 doses a day from 4 600mg a day and have seen some improvements. i have also been taking amitriptyline at bedtime. My question to you doctor is since i have had such pain for so long, do you think it could be because i had so few blisters and none other than the few on my back and no rash at all ? thanking you in advance, Barbara
