Also, palpation of a varicella zoster outbreak site normally causes a more regional than point pain.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, the pain description is a little out of wack for Shingles.

Good thinking, but already covered with visual exam question - no blisters/ rash of shingles.

However, pain and fever / "out of sorts" can on occasion appear up to a few days before visual blistering.
It was a long shot, the only reason I even brought it up is lisinopril has been known to increase chance of herpes zoster.
Another question...how long has pt been on meds, the sweats / out of sorts can be the meds, taking these symptoms out of the mix.
Also, any meds during dental work?
