Shingles will get very painful within about 4-5 days of erupting. Your skin will feel likes it's on fire. And I mean ON FIRE.

It looks like a red bumpy rash, irregular in shape. Everyone will be different in severity, just like the chicken pox.

If you think you might have it, I suggest you go see the doc. ABX should be rx'd and you may need some pain meds for the burning. If it's anywhere near your eyes, it can damage your eyesight.
