No pain, no pulling like the outbreak. But until I put the lidoderm patch on and it has settled.
Any ideas as to a potential relation?

Shingles uncommonly affect the neuromuscular nerves(weakness,parylysis), but it does happen. Is twitching the only aftermath?
When i had shingles, it was about 10 lesions that were originally more but fused into 10 vesicles right under my left rib, since the shingles virus affect the whole nerve, from the dorsal root ganglion, i had pain on that side of the body. plus a week of meningitis(only my whole spine). the complication, was random jabs of pain, and numbness in the area in the lesions, only when i press hard i feel the dull pain. Starting from the area around the lesions it became very hypersensitive to touch.
When anything touched that area, dermatome where the lesion was, my left abdominal muscle would spasm like crazy, i tried this on my right side, no sensitivity and no spasming.
Your shingles most like cause twitching, usually shingles leave much more like: numbness, hypersensitivity, pain.
