“Non-typical” remedies that helped your shingle nerve pain??
My husband is on week 3 of shingles. The rash has cleared up but he is still having nerve pain. He is prescribed gabapentin, but he said it’s just getting worse. We have tried OTC lidocaine, prescription lidocaine, and neither has worked. Has anyone tried something that isn’t your typical “go to” for nerve pain, that works? I read something about acupuncture. I also saw something about a TENS unit. We are open to try anything at this point I think.
