Thanks Sheryl
While the hospital doctor was examining my left arm , he noticed an area of red spots , but never commented after seeing them. A day after my visit to the hospital , those red spots started to cover more area on my left arm , so I decided to visit the local clinic and show those red spots to the doctor. The doctor immediately said that the spots were due to a viral infection , and prescribed a drug called '' Aciclovir '' 800mg , along with some topical ointment called '' Mupirocin ''.
While talking to the local clinic doctor about my red spots , the doctor mentioned that these type of red spots ( which I think is '' shingles '' ) may produce a type of nerve pain symptom , that is similar to the trapped nerve pain the hospital doctor diagnosed .
So after hearing what the local clinic doctor said about the possibility of my red spots ( viral infection ) producing similar nerve pain symptoms , Vs the symptoms the hospital doctor diagnosed ( Trapped nerve ) , I'm now wondering which medical condition , Red spot area ( viral infection ) Vs ( neck trapped nerve pain ) , is the actual cause and culprit of the pain
Below is from the internet .....
[ However, you can have shingles that do not produce a rash and merely present as pain. The pain is very like the pain you would experience from nerve damage. You can have numbness, tingling, and burning from the shingles, and this may lead some to believe that the pain is from a pinched nerve ]
Could it have been that I was suffering from '' shingles '' before I went to see the hospital doctor , and that condition was producing the nerve type pain , and not the neck problem.
I'm a bit confused.🙄
Thanks.
