<s>[INST] I have shingles... Could that be what is causing my feet to hurt when I stand and walk sometimes? I have had corns on the pads of my feet, but not any of the shingles rash. And it is the pads and heels that hurt really bad when I stand up and sometimes when I m sitting or sleeping! And I have other parts that hurt sometimes for no apparent reason! Like under my left arm and breast. But none of the pain is all the time... But several times a day. [/INST] HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Shingles would normally cause pain in a specific region only. It would not cause pain in a number of different areas. Shingles is one of many causes of nerve related pain, which seems to be the pain that you are experiencing. Other causes include: (1)diabetes(2)low vitamin b12 or folate(3)thyroid disease(4)side effect of medication(5)liver or kidney disease(6)abnormal levels of vitamin b6(7)exposure to toxins In some cases, the cause is not found. It may be best to see your doctor if the pain continues.  A physical assessment along with investigations are needed. There are medications that can help with nerve pain hope this helps </s>
