Suggest Remedy For Shingles
I think I may have RA but my blood wok is normal thus far. My fingers are swollen at the joints and I have wrist, elbow, shoulder pain and swelling in one of my toes all on the right side of my body. My doctor ran a few more tests today and asked if I had any rashes lately and I said no forgetting that I just had a case of shingles in July which was on my right shoulder could this be linked at all? I am female 29 years old 117 lbs

Hello Thank you for your contact to health care maflgic. I understand your concern and would like to tell you that shingles or herpes zoster has nothing to do with the rheumatoid arthritis. Your doctor is concern about other rash. So do notworry for past history of shingles. I advice to do regular early morning exercise, recent study showed that it will help in controlling the rheumatoid arthritis. If you have any thing else to ask kindly contact me. We wish you have best health at health care magic. Thank you Dr. Arun Tank
