I've had a pinched nerve in that region, doctors thought it was shingles at first. Didn't sleep for 3 days, everytime I feel asleep my body would relax into a painful position. Something akin to someone sticking a burning hot knife into your back and twisting it around and around.

That was bad enough, and that was just one nerve...

My best friend got shingles a couple years ago. It nearly got the best of him. There's not a lot you can do except take the meds and let them run their course and pray there is no recurrence anytime soon.

Had it at University. Don't want it again! It bloody hurts.

Take the meds and get ye to bed.

I have not had chicken pox, it worries me, I hear they can be deadly later in life.
