What Causes Pain Under The Ribs When Suffering From Postherpetic Neuralgia?

My husband has had PHN for 2 years after having a case of shingles. His pain tends to go deeper than the skin in the general area. He complains of pain in under the ribs on left side, which is where the shingles were. Gives him the most pain at night lying flat. Is this normal of PHN?
