Does this sound like Shingles?

I have noticed for the past couple years, (I am 24) every once in a while I would get a bit of pain on one side of my body. It would usually be on my ocks/thigh (but only one side) I would mainly noticed it when I would sit down on the toilet and the cold seat would cause pain because my /thigh was so sensitive. But it was never anything I really thought about because it was never that horrible of pain and never would have any outbreaks of rashes or anything like that. But it was very, very sensitive, like all my nerves were just exposed. I know Shingles is not common in younger people, but I did hear that it can have an outbreak when your immune system is compromised. and stress can lower your immune system. Well, I have HORRIBLE stress at times, to the point where it even raises my blood pressure to a scary high. Well for the past couple weeks I have been extremely stressed. Probably the most stressed I have been in my life. And today, on the left side only of my and thigh, I started to feel some pain. Then the sensitivity to the cold toilet seat was unbearable. I also could hardly have the fabric of my pants run against it without wanting to cry. This time, the pain was very bad. It would even go numbish sometimes but then be very painful again very quickly. I started to freak out because I was reading online about and they can occur on the and thigh and can be a tingly, painful feeling before breaking out. But thats when I remembered that this has happened to me before for past couple years (just not nearly as intense) and I have never once had any type of rash or outbreak. it is also ONLY on one side. I have only been tested for once, yrs ago and it was negative, but my fiance has probably tested 10 times throughout our relationship. (because he would break out from condoms and would freak out about it) always negative. and he only ever broke out right after the condom was used, within minutes. then it would go away. I have also heard that you can often get the pain from shingles, but never get any outbreaks. Does this in anyway sound like Shingles? The pain in my leg right now hurts so bad.. its like a trail of pain just own my left side.. KILLS. Its all just throbbing.
