I am currently into my 4 week of shingles. Through this I have had numerous pains in abdomen and back. I occasionaly get a throbbing pain just under the left rib cage in an area about the size of my hand? Could this be shingles related or something else/
Hi, This typically is described as postherpetic pain which is a self remitting condition. If the severity is too much then a medication called Gabapentin will help immensely. Regards
