Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Shingles may cause neuropthic pain, so you need to take pain killers along with aciclovir tablets.

Pregabalin or Gabapentine may be useful. If it is in the paralytic limb then it may be due to post paralytic limb pain syndrome. You need physiotherapy and exercise to relieve symptoms.

Please consult your neurophysician who will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
