Back shingles

Has anyone had back shingles before? I was diagnosed by 111 call back from a doctor on Thursday night and started taking the medication immediately. The typical itchy rash in a line which is quite crusty now. I've read that often people will get it on their front at the same time but so far no visible rash on my front.
I have had breast pain in the one on that side though, have other people had this? Note I am currently breastfeeding my 8 month old so not sure if that effects things too. I've not been nursing on that side to try minimise the chicken pox risk but have been expressing to maintain supply.
I'll probably make a doctors appointment on Wednesday when I'm first able to but just curious if it's normal pain or coincidental
