Back pain post herpes treatment

2017-08-11 05:23:25
I was diagnosed with herpes 2 months back. It happened on my shoulder blades and upper chest. Post diagnosis, I continued to have aches on specific portions of the back. This has increased now, as I wake up with severe back pain in the morning every day. What type of doctor should I consult for this? What could be the possible reasons for this?

Herpes Zoster is nothing but mostly due to reactivation of past history of chicken pox. It can affect the nerves in some cases. And it takes time to heal and to subside the symptoms.
Next Steps
you can visit some general physician and ask for opinion. there are some medicines can help you but u have to take them only after consulting a doctor.
Health Tips
dont worry it will subside but will take time. do consult any physician. thanks.
