So i went to the doctor today and i am believed to have shingles. My question is, can overtraining cause them? My workout schedule is a bit strenuous. 6:40-7:40 a.m. Insanity, 8-9 a.m. head to the gym, and at night I do an hour long zumba class. I workout simply because I enjoy it and bettering my body. However, I am curious to know if there is a link between exercise and shingles?

On a side note, anyone who has had shingles.. did you have lower back pain at all too? Any tips in general would be helpful.
