No, shingles is usually on the upper body along the nerves radiating out from the backbone.
Shingles can break out along the pathway of any nerve. Anyone who had chicken pox as a child has the virus in their bodies. Later, as an adult, the virus can become active, causing a breakout along a nerve or nerves. Shingles is extremely painful to endure.

It is my understanding that you can get shingles anywhere on your person. They are, however, very common around your midsection (torso). If you have shingles or think that you might, I strongly suggest you see a doctor.
The sciatic nerve is the major nerve that innervates the extensor muscles of the leg, particularly the tibialis anterior muscle. It is a large nerve that branches into the common fibular nerve and the tibial nerve, both of which supply various muscles in the leg.
An inability to extend the leg would result from a loss of function of the common peroneal nerve, a branch of the sciatic nerve. This nerve provides motor function to the muscles that extend the leg and dorsiflex the foot. Injury or compression of the common peroneal nerve can lead to weakness or paralysis in these muscles, resulting in difficulty extending the leg.
The two branches of the sciatic nerve are the tibial nerve and the common fibular (peroneal) nerve. The tibial nerve supplies the posterior compartment of the leg, while the common fibular nerve innervates the anterior and lateral compartments of the leg and the muscles of the foot.

Yes it is normal because shingles follow a certain nerve pattern leaving numbness to the skin. Your doctor hopefully has given you medication to help get over the shingles faster. If not please see a skin specialist or your family doctor.
Damage to the L4 spinal nerve may lead to sensations in the outer aspect of the left leg. This nerve innervates the lateral thigh area and is responsible for transmitting sensory information from that region to the brain.
The common peroneal nerve, also known as the common fibular nerve, is primarily derived from the L4-S2 nerve roots. It branches from the sciatic nerve in the posterior thigh and innervates muscles in the lower leg and foot. Its role includes motor functions for dorsiflexion and eversion of the foot, as well as sensory functions in the skin of the lower leg and the dorsum of the foot.
