Shingles Pain

What are the Symptoms of Shingles Pain?

When the virus that causes chickenpox reactivates in adults to cause shingles, symptoms can include more than just an irritating rash. Additionally, many shingles sufferers develop postherpetic neuralgia, which is the medical term for nerve damage following a case of shingles.

If you are still suffering from pain 6 – 8 weeks after your shingles infection has gone away, you may have postherpetic neuralgia. Shingles pain symptoms include:

Pain
Burning
Numbness

Tingling
Sensitivity to touch
Headache

Back Pain
Shoulder Pain
