Suggest Treatment For Numbness And Shingles On Knee

I have shingles and the rash came in my leg from the knee to the thigh. It now feels numb like the local anaesthetic you receive when you go to the dentist. Now long will this numbness last? I have found shingles to be a most uncomfortable and painful condition. Thank you for your assistance.
