Shingles
Hi Doc
Please help. I had shingles last year November. My sores have all dried up but I am still experiencing sharp pains and needles between my toes and under my right foot. My skin feels like a burning sensation. I have been to a doctor and was admitted to hospital for 5 days and after that he prescribes pain killers but nothing seems to work. Please help. I am in terrible pain all the time and cannot bear it anymore.

The virus that causes shingles can affect nerves and this can take time to settle, you should speak to your Dr again or maybe see a dermatologist
