shingles
I got shingles last year in my right leg. The pain lasted for 8 months and was terrible. There is a small portion of my leg that now feels as if it's been pumped full of novocaine.
A few weeks ago, I had to go for minor surgery, and because of the stress, the shingles came back in my leg, causing the surgery to be cancelled. The surgeon felt complications could occur and postponed the procedure. It's now 2 months later, and I'm back on the surgery schedule, but still feeling the neuralgia and discomfort.
I've been advising everyone I know to get the shot...learn my my suffering. Wish I had known about this before it happened to me.
