Shingles and extreme pain

I was diagnosed with shingles about 3 weeks ago and have been in the worse pain. But my problem also is, I feel my inside organs are hurting and maybe swollen too. Especially my stoma, pancreas, or liver. I have an appointment with my surgeon on Monday for a regular check up, but I don't know what kind of tests I should ask my doctors to run to see if I have any internal damage like hernias, etc. Anyone have similar problems or suggestions.

hi loretta. i'm so sorry to hear you're in such pain. and very glad you're seeing a doctor on monday. good luck at your appt. as to the shingles, i remember when my daughter had them they recommended oatmeal baths and calamine lotion. but i think a dr could probably give you some cortisone cream, too. hope it gets better soon. dorthe
