Real Questions We Hear From Patients On
Shingles / Post-Herpetic Neuralgia
Shingles infects nerves directly. Even after the rash heals, the affected nerve may remain irritated or damaged.
For many people it improves gradually, but some develop longer-lasting nerve pain called post-herpetic neuralgia.
Not always. Treatments are available to help reduce symptoms depending on the underlying nerve damage.
In some cases, procedures that address the affected nerve may help reduce persistent pain.
Treatment options may include medications, nerve blocks, or targeted nerve procedures.
