Hello. I Have Been Seeing My Doctors For Symptoms I
Hello. I have been seeing my doctors for symptoms I (and they) thought were associated with a severe fall I had (on wet concrete) more than 2 months ago. It has been established that my sacrum is fractured.
Today my primary-care physician suggested, for the first time, SHINGLES, and prescribed Acyclovir cream, which I will begin using tomorrow. Other medications so far include Hydrocodone, Dilaudil, Gabapentin and Ibuprofen, and I have been taking Physical Therapy. Symptoms include: pain in groin, around and down leg, buttock, small lesions on buttock (all right side). Also: limp, balance problems, low appetite, weight loss, dizziness, drowsiness. I believe I have had the shingles vaccine, and will confirm that tomorrow. Thanks in advance! Ron Wakefield
