5. Swelling of Lymph Nodes
When the human body is under stress or fighting an infection, it can present in the lymph nodes. Individuals commonly experience inflamed lymph glands in the neck, groin and under the arms.
The lymph nodes in the area where the pain appears drain the site of infection, resulting in a feeling of tenderness.3‘Herpes Zoster.’ Herpes Zoster | DermNet NZ, dermnetnz.org/topics/herpes-zoster/. The nodes might swell slightly, which is a clear indication that the lymphatic system is fighting the virus.
