I believe the Herpes family lives in the dorsal root ganglia.
We had a paper posted here about that once. I'll try and find it for you.
Postherpetic neuralgia arises from H. Zoster infection. It is a very well known entity.
There are many things most doctors are unaware of, since they don't look for updated research. (unless forced to for continuing education relicensure).
Some papers I found just now quickly:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1665505
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2833203
http://jvi.asm.org/cgi/content/short/85/6/3030
Search Herpes virus dorsal root ganglia... for more.
The paper I recall said that some people were more prone genetically for this type of nerve damage with pain. Not all people with HV develop the dorsal root problem, therefore. The article was about stem cell treatment to repair the genetic deficiency so symptoms would abate.
