Hello,
It is quite common after an attack of shingles. It is due to neuropraxia after the shingle attack.
As first line management, you can take drugs like Gabapentin for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
