Hello thanks for using health care magic Shingles is a viral infection that affect sensitive nerves of the body. Pain resulting after shingles is common especially in adults. Unfortunately, once someone develops shingles, the pain becomes more or less permanent. Pain killers used have to be effective for neurological pains. Carbamazepine or amitriptylline are commonly used drugs to managed such pains. Talk with your doctor on the possibility of either of these drugs to relieve your pains. Hope this helps Dr Achuo
