Hello,
My boyfriend who is only 24 was diagnosed with shingles on the right side of his neck about two weeks ago. One week into the shingles he developed horrible pain in his left shoulder/chest area. He has been to the ER and his doctor had an EKG done and they said it is not his heart. The doctors will not really give him a straight answer as to if it could be related to the shingles even though it is on the opposite side of his out break. Has anyone experienced horrible nerve pain on the opposite side of the shingles out break. Any information would be helpful...I feel so bad for him and just want his pain to go away.

Thanks.
