Hello,
Thank you for the query.
In my opinion the after treatment for shingles many will develop nerve pains due to shingles and is known as post therapeutic neuralgia. If the pain continues after 4months then we call that as PHN and dont worry as we can treat it.As it is only 8 weeks has been passed since you got shingles I suggest you to your doctor so that he will prescribe you the drugs which will treat the pain.Hope this information will be helpful.Thank you.
