Thought I had shingles last week but was never confirmed bc of holiday weekend ..no Dr available..not sure if this is PMR or post herpetic neuralgia ..either way I'll see a rheumatologist of its PMR..thanks again and good luck

Your picture certainly isn't straightforward. My non medical opinion is that the pain is nerve related. Either pinched or shingles, which a whole other category. You seem to be following the right diagnostic path. In the meantime, you might try the otc cream "Voterin" or its generic counterpart. Just be careful to not overuse that shoulder.
