Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Has anyone here had shingles before? My primary doc thinks that may be what's going on with me. I don't recall ever having chickenpox, despite having cared for 4 kids who had them. The youngest one did have a very light case, and the doc feels like I could have had a light enough case that I didn't exhibit many symptoms. I have a patch on my back that burns and aches, but don't know what to look for, symptom wise,if it is shingles. I have surgery scheduled for June 15th, nasal reconstruction and sinus " roto-rooter " and don't know if that would affect it. My back was killing me, and for me to notice pain over and above the usual stuff to the point of going to the doc, it had to be pretty bad!
