Breaking free from Shingles' Lingering Pain: Conquer Post Herpetic Neuropathy Pain

Post-herpetic neuropathy refers to the enduring pain experienced in the skin area affected by a previous episode of shingles (herpes zoster). It is estimated that approximately 20% of individuals who have had shingles will develop post-herpetic neuralgia, with a higher incidence among adults over the age of 60. Shockingly, one in five people who have experienced shingles may encounter post-herpetic neuralgia. This type of persistent pain can linger long after the disappearance of the shingles rash and blisters, greatly impacting an individual's quality of life.

Typically localized to the region where the shingles rash occurred, the pain is often described as burning, stabbing, or electric shocks. At our center, we understand the profound challenges posed by post-herpetic neuropathy and strive to provide comprehensive care and effective pain management strategies to alleviate suffering and restore comfort and well-being.

What is the cause of postherpetic neuropathy (shingles)?

Shingles, caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus, can present significant challenges. Once you've been exposed to chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in your body for life, and its reemergence can lead to shingles. The risk of developing shingles increases with age.

The persistent pain experienced in post-herpetic neuralgia is believed to stem from nerve damage or inflammation during the shingles infection. Various factors contribute to the risk of developing post-herpetic neuropathy, including advanced age, weakened immune system, severe shingle symptoms, delayed shingle treatment, and absence of shingle vaccination.

Living with post-herpetic neuralgia can be immensely challenging, but it's important to know that there are treatment options available to help manage the pain. Calmare therapy has demonstrated success in treating post-herpetic neuropathy and can provide much-needed relief. Our team at the CRPS and Neuropathic Pain Center of America is dedicated to assisting individuals affected by post-herpetic neuropathy, offering comprehensive care and personalized treatment plans to enhance their quality of life and alleviate suffering.
