Some people experience shingles pain long after the rash has healed. Shingles is caused by the chicken pox virus, which enters a dormant or latent state after the initial infection.

The virus can remain dormant in nerve cells, including nerve bundles that travel around the rib cage. These nerve cells allow the virus to hide from the immune system. The shingles virus can also interfere with vitamin D receptor activity.

Postherpetic neuralgia, the lingering pain you experience after shingles, is caused by damage to your nerve cells.

Remedies for shingles pain:

• Capsaicin cream or patch

• L-lysine, 3000 to 6000 mg once daily
