| I have had painful shingles on the right buttock, affecting the rectum, right leg and foot. This started at beginning of Feb.08. After medication, including Lyrica, Lysene, and recommendations from nutritional health I started to feel better. I also had an epidural some weeks ago which injected cortisone. The pain started to fade, and I prepared to travel on a trip. There was quite a lot of preparation beforehand and on the day before I was supposed to travel - the pain returned. So, I canceled my trip. During all this time, I continued with the Lyrica. Lyrica also is constipating which presents an added problem, balancing the right medication which rellieves constipation without pain in the outer surface. I want to know what caused it to return. It is not so painful as when it started, but maybe it could be if I didnn't take the pain reliever. Any ideas on how to recover soon. Thank-you. |
