<s>[INST] Yes, how can a dr.. diagnose me today with shingles, and I have never had chicken pox. I called my mother and she said I hadn't either. I went for a pulled ligament and pain,  and a rash down my arm. My neck,shoulder has the turn or pulled muscle. He wouldn't do a test on me to see if I had ever had or vaccine before?? [/INST] Hello,Thanks for your query on HCM"As"per your clinical history is concerned shingles is diagnosed in physical examination only and main sign of it is pain on one side of your body and rash with blisters.so follow like this-1)Discuss with your treating Doctor about [Acyclovir, Capsaicin cream, lidocaine cream and codeine]2)For prevention of any complications in future you can discuss shingles vaccine and it doesn't guarantee you won't get shingles. But this vaccine will likely reduce the course and severity of the disease and reduce your risk of postherpetic neuralgia.Hope that helps </s>
