Having had a girflriend who had shingles and is also a physio we tried everything. About the only thing she found to help with the pain during the acute phase was TENS. Unfortunately this is only some clinical/empirical evidence on someone who we tried just about everything on at the time.

Hi I don't have much experience with Shingles...
Just wondering if its common for someone to experience low back pain post shingles? This person experiences a tingling/burning pain with flexion and returning to standing. Is this common? Is there any treatment for it?

Thanks!
