What this video covers
If you have pain that started with shingles and never fully went away, this video will explain what’s happening to your nerves and what targeted treatment might look like. Shingles is a viral infection, but post-topetic neuralgia is neural injury. One is a viral infection and the other is a nerve injury. Posttopetic neuralgia is essentially pain that persists for more than 3 months after the shingles infection.
