Would suggest you buy some L lysine. They sell it at health food shops. Several family members have had shingles and this has seemed to really help.

I've had shingles on my leg Op. I was in hospital with a chest infection and mine started with exactly the same blisters as you have (in the inside of my knee) followed by terrible pain. I ended up walking with a stick for over a month.

I've had a couple more episodes of pain and tingling over the years but nothing that came close to the original bout.

Hope you feel better soon.
