Shingles Pain In many cases, the first sign of shingles is pain in one particular location on only one side of the body. The severity of the pain can range from mild to intense.
Answer: Shingles is generally a painful condition. It's a rash that eats through the skin. For some patients, they'll be able to manage without pain medications, particularly if they have only a mild rash. But many patients will need medications for pain management. Some people may find over the counter anti-inflammatory and pain relief is adequate, such as acetaminophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen. But substantial numbers of people will need prescribed pain medications by their physician. This should be discussed with your physician because everyone's situation is difficult.
