Are Bladder Pain And Interstitial Cystitis Symptoms Of Shingles?

I am in my fourth week of shingles. Think it s healing , but still have slit toe rash and some body pain. Three days ago I felt like I had a bladder infection. Everything came up negative. Feeling lots of pressure and the need to urinate frequently. I had inter stitial cystitis many years ago. Are shingles and bladder pain/ interstitial cystitis related?
