My skin hurts. I have no rash. Can't see anything wrong with my skin. Not dry. It just hurts to the touch. No allover but on my arm and on my back. Anyone have this happen to them?

I've had it twice - once in my twenties and again in my sixties. Age isn't really a factor.How old are you? I was thinking shingles too.
Both my 'events' were on my left arm. The virus hides in the spinal column and affects the nerves leading out from whichever place it is active. (In very simple terms )I've never heard of a shingles outbreak on arms (although maybe it can happen
Don't wait too long. As the post just above yours mentions, there is an anti-viral treatment for shingles, but it MUST be received early in the process, like most anti-virals.71. Will see dr if it doesn’t go away

And wishing your husband a quick, complete recovery, kymom.Hope it’s not shingles. My husband is suffering terribly with them right now.
Thank you. He has had them for a month. He’s going back to the doctor today to try to manage the pain. He can’t sleep and is struggling to work.Wishing you well, mrsstats79 (and without the 79 also).

I've never heard of a shingles outbreak on arms (although maybe it can happen), but there is definitely a nerve band around the back/under the ribs that is a common location. Here's hoping that's not what you have, OP.
