Conditions We Treat
Postherpetic Neuralgia
Postherpetic neuralgia, or Post Shingles Pain, is a condition of recurring or persistent pain in an area of the body that has undergone an outbreak of herpes zoster virus, better known as shingles. After the blisters heal, some patients continue to report pain.
The shingles are gone. Why is there still pain?
Postherpetic neuralgia affects nerve fibers and your skin and lasts more than three months after the shingles outbreak. The pain is a result of a change in neurological structure due to the irritation or damage of a nerve.
