Shingles and pregnant?

[April162010]

well...when i think everyhting is getting better and close to deliver....I have this skin pain on my upper left leg on the side. it feels like a burn or sting that hurst. It just started a few weeks ago and its very uncomforatable at times when i sleep on the left side of my body also feels tingly and numb and i can not move the leg....weird!

I though it was the fabric of the sofa or the blanket so i gave not interest, so that was like 2 weeks ago and yesterday happen again , its just one small side of my upper leg and then i google it and some people having "shingles" has the same feeling...

I had chickenpot when I was little so i dont know what to say, also i remember the doctor telling  at 3 months pregnant  that i should be careful around kids , to wash my hands and stuff because i dint have the "shingles" yet....

I have no rash, no red points, nothing just that weird feeling on my left leg after waking up and trying to stand up  or just move the other side.

I am visiting my doctor next tuesday

Anybody?....

Hi, thanks
My neighbor 's  brother is a dermatologist and he was visiting her yesterday so i ran to see him and showed him my leg, so  it seems i have  a light
Spider Vein Symptoms  and this cause aching or cramping in the legs.  Due to this The affected area may throb, burn, tingle, or feel heavy.
He says it is more common in people with jobs that keep them on their feet, including nurses and teachers. Other factors that may contribute include aging, obesity and "pregnancy"

Well, I have the last 3....lol

Its so light i can barely see it but now i have to be careful for them not to extend.... scary!

Sounds more like a nerve thing. Shingles is a rash...you would notice it. It's similar to the chicken pox you had as a child...but worse.

I suffer from a nerve disorder that causes those same feelings on my face and buttocks mostly.
Doctor offered pills for it, but it acts up only once a year or less and lasts for only a few weeks...so why bother to take a pill every day for the rest of my life? lol

For some reason this disorder causes raw nerve endings to travel up close to the skin...drives me nuts sometimes.
