In horrible pain. is it possible to have shingles w/o rash on both sides of body? dr says no. skin numb/piainful. hurts to move. want blood test.

Get checked up: Shingles causes a painful rash which may appear as a stripe of blisters on the trunk of the body. It is possible for pain to persist even after the rash is gone. This is called postherpetic neuralgia. But more of a history and exam are needed. A full work up with blood tests is a good idea. I suggest going to a clinic to get examined.
