Hi everyone,

I had shingles a few months ago, and while the rash has cleared up, I’m still dealing with this intense burning pain. My doctor said it’s postherpetic neuralgia, and it could last for months or even longer. I’m currently on **gabapentin**, but it doesn’t seem to take the edge off the pain.

Does anyone have any tips or alternative treatments that have worked for them? I’ve heard about capsaicin cream, but I’m nervous to try it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
