My man had it last year. the pain can last for months. You can also get it if you have had Chicken Pox. There wee no shots against it here when we were kids. Same bug as the cold sore virus. In other words Herpes. YUK ..............I feel for you.

Not quite the same virus - Chicken pox/shingles is varicella zoster virus (VZV) and shingles is referred to as herpes zoster, but the cold sore virus is herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV–1 or 2). Both yucky and painful anyway. BTW, there is a theory that shingles is less likely in people who have been repeatedly exposed to chicken pox, which does suggest that vaccinating could make shingles more common.
