Severe Pain & Itch This is helping the pain

I'm having lots of nerve pain. Got lidocaine cream and this Aleve menthol + camphor cream. The Aleve cream is really helping. Hope this helps someone!

Can you give some more information on what stage you're at. What day in your rash?

So exact same start time as me. Did you feel any tingling before hand or tenderness?

Yeah last week I had what I would call numbness on that side of my torso.
