Postherpetic Neuropathy aka "Shingle Pain"
Postherpetic neuropathy is a nerve pain condition that can develop after a bout of shingles, caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It occurs when the virus damages nerve fibers, leading to persistent pain even after the shingles rash has healed. Symptoms may include burning, stabbing, or shooting pain in the affected area, along with sensitivity to touch.
​
Treatment for postherpetic neuropathy aims to alleviate pain and improve quality of life. This may involve medications such as anticonvulsants, topical creams, or nerve blocks to numb the affected area. Additionally, complementary therapies like acupuncture, physical therapy, and relaxation techniques can help manage symptoms and promote healing.
