Background:

Musculoskeletal trauma is a common reason for healthcare visits across various specialties.
Posttraumatic pain is a recognized complication, with a known association with herpes zoster (shingles).

Observation:

Three cases illustrate how herpes zoster can present with symptoms mimicking musculoskeletal or neurological abnormalities.
Stages of herpes zoster infection can resemble simple bony, nerve root, or soft-tissue abnormalities.

Findings:

Herpes zoster can present insidiously, complicating the diagnosis of posttraumatic pain.
Serial observations are crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of these complex cases.

Implications:
