Postherpetic Neuralgia

What is Postherpetic Neuralgia ?
Postherpetic neuralgia (post-her-PET-ic noo-RAL-jah) is a painful condition affecting your nerve fibers and skin. It's a complication of shingles, a second outbreak of the varicella-zoster virus, which initially causes chickenpox.

Causes of Postherpetic Newralgia
Postherpetic neuralgia results when nerve fibers are damaged during a case of shingles. Damaged fibers aren't able to send messages from your skin to your brain as they normally do. Instead, the messages become confused and exaggerated, causing chronic, often excruciating pain that may persist for months — or even years — in the area where shingles first occurred.

Signs and Symptoms of Phostherpetic Neuralgia
The symptoms of postherpetic neuralgia are generally limited to the area of your skin where the shingles outbreak first occurred. They may include:

Sharp and jabbing, burning, or deep and aching pain
Extreme sensitivity to touch and temperature change
Itching and numbness

In rare cases, you might also experience muscle weakness, tremor or paralysis — if the nerves involved also control muscle movement.
