Usually you can.  They would prefer not to perform a very invasive surgery like heart surgery while you had a severe outbreak of shingles, but they would do the surgery if it was an emergency.

I would visit a chiropractor before succumbing to surgery, if I were you. Spasms are the result of a nerve action, not vascular.

Sometimes it is best to go with the doctor's advice, you dont want to mess around with lymph disorders at home, have them do the surgery, it is for the best. Nothing "natural" or any home remidies are going to help that.

are they anywhere else?  If you have them every where it sould be shingles or chicken pox, if you have had a fever.  If they are only on your stomach, no fever, or sickness involved, it is probably an allergy or heat rash.  Don't scratch.

Could be.  Everybody reacts to surgery different.  I would ask a Doc just in case.

I think that you're only real option right now is to go see a doctor. They're trained and you may be scared of surgery but it's either going to the doctor and hearing what they have to say or having to live with that pain untill you get up the guts to go to the doctors. No matter what you're going to see a doctor about it sooner or later so get it over with and put the injury behind you.

HIV and VZV (varicella zoster virus) are both viruses...  People with weakened immune systems (HIV) are more likely to have outbreaks of shingles.

No you would not because it is correctable through surgery. Infact, there are some wonderful new procedures that can be done 'outpatient'. Infact, you can get up and walk immediately afterwards and can even go back to work the next day.

anyone who has had chicken pox is at risk for developing shingles as the virus can re-activate in times of stress or immunosupression.

I've had this procedure, twice as a matter of fact!...but I didn't have Medicaid insurance.  It shouldn't make a difference what insurance you have as long as your are in pain due to the large size of your breasts.  The doctor is looking for those operative words, back, neck shoulder pain, rashes between breasts etc.

Shingles is a localized infection due to the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. It occurs only in people who have had chickenpox in the past and represents a reactivation of the dormant varicella virus. Why the virus reactivates in some individuals and not in others is unknown.A person must have already had chickenpox in the past to develop shingles. Contact with an infected individual does not cause another person's dormant virus to reactivate. However, the virus from a shingles patient may cause chickenpox in someone who has not had it before.Shingles is not usually dangerous to healthy individuals although it can cause great misery during an attack. Anyone with shingles on the upper half of their face, no matter how mild, should seek medical care at once. There is some danger that the virus could cause damage to the eye resulting in blindness. Complications are rare but may include partial facial paralysis (usually temporary), ear damage or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain).\nChickenpox must be prevented in order to prevent shingles. A live attenuated viral vaccine against chickenpox was licensed in the U.S. in 1995 and is very effective (95% efficacy).

Use Aveeno oatmeal bath powder and bath/shower oil for bathing.It helps with the itching;unfortunately there is nothing that prevents some scaring from happening.\n\nAdults can contract chicken pox.There is a vaccine availablefor those who have never contracted the disease.If a person has had chicken pox,they are more apt to be vulnerable to develop Shingles in later life,since the body harbors the chicken pox virus for life(these are both forms of the herpes virus).
