I went to the ER with painful bumps on the right side of my back above the pant line. Dr took a look and said it's not shingles and laughed at me.

It could be shingles. It was unprofessional of the doc to laugh at you. What did the doctor say it is?
Here are some pics of shingles:

well did the doctor tell u what it was? it looks like it...and its where it usually starts...go to another doctor and if they say it is, sue the hell outta the doctor that laughed at you...check out this site while ur at it..

nope hes right its not shingles. if you had it it would be so hurting and you'd be crying and its painful and also there would be parts of face that would be frozen also.

IDK WHY THE DOCTOR WOULD LAUGH AT YOU WHEN YOU ARE IN PAIN...BUT IF YOU REALLY THINK IT IS SOMETHING SERIOUS, YOU NEED TO GO TO A DIFFERENT DOCTOR WHO YOU CAN TRUST AND WON'T LAUGH AT YOU BEACUSE WHAT THAT DOCTOR DID IS SO UNPROFFESIONAL OF HIM, I WOULD HAVE HIM REPORTED IF I WERE YOU
