For those that have experienced nerve pain from shingles, what's the best way you've done to cut the pain down? TENS unit? acupuncture? tonics/herbals? topicals? of course, the gold standard is pain medications, but which one works best for such nerve pain?
Are you talking about post-herpetic neuralgia or the pain DURING an active shingles outbreak? It may matter quite a bit. If the pain is on your face or around the eye, some products should not be used there.

the rashes have all healed on the trunk. all that's left now is the pain
I feel your pain. I had shingles in February and still have pain off and on, sometimes quite strong. I had the valcyclovir when shingles were active but nothing now .
I had shingles about 7 years ago. I had leg pain on my leg afterwards (the way the dermatome looped from my back around my thigh) for years. Especially when I slept on that side. I would wake up screaming in pain if I accidentally slept on it.
Then I went on a low-sodium diet for another condition (1,500 mg a day)
Shingles pain is gone. Vanished. Never to be seen again.
