Shingles?
Posted , 7 users are following.
I had mild shingles just over a year ago on my left hip. Got on an antiviral right away and was better within two weeks. This morning I started feeling a sensation just like shingles sensitivity on the inside of my right knee down my inner calf. I am now feeling pain in my right foot and it feels like it's going to sleep if I don't move it for awhile. I have no rash.... yet, but the pain is becoming worse with every hour. I can barely stand the feeling of my jeans on my skin down the inside of my lower leg. The foot pain isn't a sensitivity thing, the bottom of my foot just hurts every time I step down on it. Could I be going for a shingles round 2? Or could it be something else entirely?

YES it can be shingles! Contact your doctor or get to a walk-in clinic right away. If you've had shingles, you know what it feels like. You can have it without any rash at all or you may get just a tiny rash several days from now. That's what happened to me so I missed getting diagnosed. Don't let us determine, find a qualified medical professional. Shingles can occur multiple times, but it will follow a nerve path. It may what's happening.

Hi Susan the only way you can know for sure is to see a professional doctor. Although I did hear that the shingles can return "STRESS" is a strong factor. So if your under alot of stress this will aggravate it.
So if I were you I'd go to the doctor as soon as I can b/c as you know, the faster you get treatment the better the future outcome. Hope this advice is of some help to you Susan.
Keep us posted ok.....
