In October 2024, she began feeling pain in her back that radiated down her right leg. She also began feeling less energetic at that time and complained of pain in her side. There was no rash at that time. In November 2024, she was originally diagnosed with neuropathy caused by her diabetes until two "dots" appeared on her back near her rib cage and on her buttock. At that point, the neuropathy diagnosis was ruled out, and she was diagnosed with shingles. The dots went away about two to three weeks later. The dot on her ribcage appeared like a blister that had popped. The patient reported that her ongoing intermittent pain occurred between the dot location on her ribcage and the dot location on her buttock. She continued to complain of intermittent pain when clothing touched her skin. The HCP noted in the report was her Primary Care Physician. His wife was her gynecologist.
