Can Shingles Cause Any Side Effects To The Surgery?
I have surgery scheduled in 2 weeks I was diagnosed with shingles last Saturday morning after noticing the area puffy,swollen and very tender.I immediately started taking the prescription right away. If I do not have too much discomfort can the surgery go as planned?

Thanks for contacting HCM
I am sorry to her that you have shingles. What complicates the matter is that you are scheduled to have surgery in 2 weeks. My recommendations is that you contact your surgeon and inform them of the shingles. More than likely they will postpone the surgery until after you have recovered from shingles.
Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your health care questions and concerns
