I have had them before but not post surgery. I wouldn't wish those on anyone. The worse is when you "forget" to not itch them!!! Hope for a quick recovery for ya!!

Shingles come from the Chicken Pox virus. So anyone who had chicken pox as a kid keeps the virus in their body (ick) It lies dormant in the nerves and can flare up time to time especially in times of stress. If you think you have them it is best to get seen ASAP as they can give you an antiviral medication that will ease the pain. Shingles usually flare up along a nerve path and can be quite painful.
Hope you feel better soon.
