Does Chronic Neck And Shoulder Pain Trigger Shingles?

I have been treated several times for shingles and it keeps coming back within like 2-3 wks of finishing my medication. I have chronic pain in my neck & shoulders and was wondering if the shingles are being brought on by the pain I am in constantly.
