23yo male entering Second week with shingles and still pain comparable to a kidney stone, Is this normal?
Answer:
Get back in touch with your doctor ASAP. Shingles is a HORRIBLE thing! I've had them twice! See if your doctor can give you something stronger for the pain. Also remember that until your blisters dry up, you're contagious to people that have never had chicken pox. I wish you the best of luck!!

Yes, call the doctor. The pain from shingles can last a month or longer.

I would call and see if they would be willing to call in a nother RX. Sometimes they might want to see you again but its owrth it if you in that much pain.
this can last several weeks, months or years,You need to contact your doctor for advice, Good luck
Pain from shingles is hard to treat - it is nerve pain which typically doesn't respond well to things like vicodin, alleve, tylenol, and motrin. The amitriptyline can help but it takes a while to kick in. (Usually we prescribe neurontin instead of amitriptyline; you might want to ask about that instead.) A really good thing to ask your doctor about is a lidoderm patch - can be used once the blisters dry up. Unfortunately, in a few people, the pain can last for weeks to months. Good luck.
