Need some help from you to clear your doubts ma'am

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Let us first start with your fear of this being shingles, for that you need to help me by answering a few of my questions which is the typical presentation or sequence of appearance of symptoms of shingles. They are:

+Did you experience pain in or around your heart, lungs or kidney regions (chest or lower back)?
+Was this pain followed by a blister like appearance of a rash, predominantly on one side of your torso (i.e. on either the left or right side of your back and chest) or around your eyes? The rash is also very painful.
+Itching of this region with the rash?
+Increased sensitivity in the region of the rash?

Now coming to the pain in the calf region and your back region with the boils (if some one can help you with that) you experienced ma'am. I would like to request you to take a clear picture of the calf which presented with pain and attach it to our discussion here or send it by email to:

YYYY@YYYY
or
YYYY@YYYY

Please add "ATTN: Dr. Shoaib Khan" in the subject bar.

But please answer these questions relating to the description of the calf region that presented with pain as well ma'am:

+Any swollen or standing or tortuous veins in the calf region that are easily visible by the naked eye?
+Pain slowly or gradually appearing?
+Long durations of standing in your life history?

I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further and clear your doubts as well ma'am. Please do not worry, I shall surely help clear your doubts.

Best wishes.
