What If You Do Not Get A Rash With Shingles?
I have pain on my right side that feels like a sunburn and my DR said its probably shingles, but with this being my second time in the past 2 years to have this, there is never a rash, only sunburn like pain and swelling.

Shingles refers to a painful skin rash which is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. The symptoms of Shingles start with burning pain and sensitive skin, Before a rash is visible, the patient. Then it starts as small blisters on a red base. So probably you do have shingles.

I have the exact same thing but it been off and on for 20 years, my doctor has ordered a MRI for this week. He too said shingles but no rash. Sometimes the pains last for weeks and other times for months. Each time its getting worse. Started 8 weeks after my 1st son was born by c section.This time it started after 3 days of a cold like illness.

I have the same problem my dr thought shingles too but no rash the pain has occurred off and on for 20 yrs. I am finally going to have an MRI this week. Maybe an answer. Most over the counter pain pills don't help.

I am now experiencing burning and jolting pain in my skin around my ribs to the back. No rash, and am confused. The Dr. Said this isn't shingles because no rash ever appears. Its been getting worse over the years, sometimes on my should, back or stomach. Any suggestions?
