Has anyone had severe side effects after receiving the shingles vaccin

I got the Shingles vaccine on May 12, 2025 and immediately started having numbness in both legs and feet. It is 3 months later and it has not gotten better at all. It is called neuropathy and the Doctor has just brushed it off as old age? I am 60

Wow! Time to find a new doctor. One that won't give you the dismissive brush off !!
@kelimiller50 my doctor did the same thing. I switched doctors and am pushing to get this properly diagnosed. Even going as far as getting 2nd opinions, and with fibro diagnosis they are claiming it's the fibro and not the injection.

Welcome @kelimiller50, I only had a sore arm for a day or so after my shingles vaccine but then I already had neuropathy before I got the vaccine. Sorry that your doctor brushed you off. Sudden numbness is listed a side effect with the incidence not known - Shingrix Side Effects: Common, Severe, Long Term: https://www.drugs.com/sfx/shingrix-side-effects.html.
Have you reported the vaccine side effects? - https://vaers.hhs.gov/
