The doctor will examine the patient's back and hips to check for conditions that require surgery or emergency treatment. The examination includes several tests that involve moving the patient's legs

Can back pain be caused by shingles?

I believe that shingles can cause lower Back pain. I've recently been diagnosed with shingles, which was preceeeded by lower back pain, heartburn-like pain, and intermittent stabbing pains throughout my chest area and right leg. Then came the snesitive skin issue. My doctor (internal medicine) said that all of these were related, and diagnosed shingles. Started treatment, and have very little blistering because it was caught early.
