PHN or Enteric Shingles
Posted , 1 user is following.
Over a month of odd symptoms I broke out in October with shingles on my forehead and scalp. Before the rash I was having an odd cramp/ pain / burning in my left side along with a terrible shooting headache in my temple. Here we are in December and I still have an awful burning / pain in my left abdomen. I have been to my GP and a gastro doctor who has scheduled me for an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. I don't know if I can wait until January for the endoscope and February for the colonoscopy, but that is the soonest they can schedule them. I am at wits end, and since Covid 19 is spiking in my area, I can understand the wait. I have so many more details to this story, but I could take this whole forum to explain it. Does Shingles effect your abdomen even if the rash broke out on my temple? How long should I wait to call the doctor about this continued burning in my left abdomen. Right now I tried calling my GP, but either the office staff give me the run around or say he's double booked. I will go into additional detail if needed, but am weary and just want to give the basics for now. Thank you!
