Shingles or connected to gallbladder polyp?

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hi Everyone

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience as me and has any advice.

I woke up in the middle of the night 3 weeks ago with what i thought was either a 'spider bite' or a 'dead arm on my keft side'! My fingers were tingling on my left hand and i must of managed to eventually get back to sleep. When I woke in the morning my left arm was very sore and I couldn't lift my left arm up properly.. Long story short I had a large sore appear on my back/ left side which was tracking a red swelling around leading to under my armpit &left breast. My glands were swollen under my armpit and this sore leaked a lot of fluid out of it sticking to my clothing. Saw GP they said Shingles put me on penicillin. I never had a rash at all just a weeping pus filled sore on my left side which made me question if its shingles or something else connected to my stomach gallbladder back problems etc?? I have been ill for quite a while with abdominal problems, extreme fatigue, nausea and what is like palpitations or a butterfly sensation in my stomach, especially at night time. I have terrible mid to upper back pain on a daily basis and I'm not sleeping too well it feels like there is a growth in there sometimes? and someting is uncomfortable sometimes when i lay on my right side in bed? Dies this sound like shingles to thise who have had it?? Has anyone else had similar issues? would be grateful for any help/advice

Thank you & Best wishes to you all x
