After that you get pain in your nerves (posttheraputic neuralgia) caused by the damage that can last months longer. When my father had shingles, he got this particularly badly in his left arm for several months. You get another cream (zostrix) to deal with this. It takes weeks to work but will shorten the neuralgia recovery period a lot.
